It seems that your response is not scaled which will cause issue in LBFGS. Typically, people train Linear Regression with zero-mean/unit-variable feature and response without training the intercept. Since the response is zero-mean, the intercept will be always zero. When you convert the coefficients to the oringal space from the scaled space, the intercept can be computed by w0 = y - \sum x_n w_n where x_n is the average of column n.
