I did some more testing, it seems that this only occurs when the PRO residue is preceded by a glycine. Could this be related to this issue: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.gromacs.user/72687 ? When I change the glycine residue to anything else, pdb2gmx works like a charm. I constructed a simple test system in which I can replicate the error (see below).
