Thanks for the info Matt. I think I have solved it now. I tried just
adding the 'n' flag to both my searches. But that screws up the
program logic. I think the way it was written it actually depends on
the cursor moving to where it does after the search is done.
Then I added two lines to save and restore the cursor position around
the body of the Update position. That seems to do the trick (unless
there is something that I still miss and haven't yet discovered!).

func! Update()
let save_cursor = getpos(".")
let s = search('^ DynamicAtomSpecies =','w')
let e = search(';')
[function cruft]
call setpos('.', save_cursor)
endfun
