This even does happen with Amber :)  So my guess is you correctly transferred
the parameters, but stumbled upon an artefact. If you check the recent 
literature you may notice that many publications with Amber using K+ 
only employ minimal (neutralising) salt conditions as a workaround. At 
least this is what we did recently [1].
