Yes. The axes you turn on are centered in the picture, but do not correspond to data coordinates. The underlying reason has to do with some fiddling that happens with rescaling things so that to jmol, everything appears to be in a box between [-1..1] (or something like that). The axes appear at the jmol origin, but because we have scaled and translated things before sending it to jmol, our origin may not correspond with the jmol origin. There is a trac ticket about this. For now, we could probably just put the axes as a small set of axes down in the corner, instead of in middle of the figure.
