I don't know which version of Jmol you are using, but we don't have
observed the problem you described. Take for example a look at our Jmol
Viewer page of  '1NMB' at the 'JenaLib' using Jmol prerelease version
10.00.36:
http://www.fli-leibniz.de/cgi-bin/3d_mapping.pl?CODE=1NMB

You can also look at it with the official Jmol version 10.2.0:
http://www.fli-leibniz.de/cgi-bin/3d_mapping.pl?CODE=1NMB&JMOLVERSION=10.2.0

If you copy and paste and the following script into the script input
field, you will see that both residues are present:

select [VAL]169; wireframe 70; color cartoon none; color red; select
[TYR]169^A; wireframe 70; color cartoon none; color cyan; moveto 1 883
-364 297 116.6 3549 86 -154; select  ([VAL]169, [TYR]169^A) and carbon
and alpha; label on;

Maybe you didn't use the correct syntax for specifying insertion codes.
You must seperate the insertion code from the residue number by the '^'
character (e.g.: 169^A) in order to distinguish it from the chain
specification (e.g.: 169A  means residue 169 in chain A).
