I understood that once you are using positioned (named) echos, "left 
/ center / right" does not define the position, but the 
justification. So, 
    set echo myecho 20% 85%
would acept 
    set echo myecho center,  set echo myecho left  etc
but since 0% is at the edge, justification will not be appreciated 
(or even used, as Jmol seems to align text to the edge when provided 
near 0% or 100% positions).

To better see how justification works, try multiline echos:
   echo hello|molecules

set echo myecho 50% 50%

I think that "left / center / right" cannot be mixed with absolutely 
(numerically) positioned echos.
Use

set echo username 85% 50%
set echo username center 


I think that only leaves the "set echo on" as bugs, right?

That's the old Jmol syntax. Yes, it seems to have disappeared from 
the documentation

set echo   top/middle/bottom   left/center/right
1. cannot be used with user-named echos
2. only one text allowed at each  top/middle/bottom   positions
3.  left/center/right  defines both position and justification

(page 79 in my book :)  the user-named and XY-positioned echos will 
go in vol.2)
