You misunderstood. There is an error in the topology file. There is not supposed to be a C - CPB bond to begin with.

However, this does raise an important point: one should not totally rely on the files distributed in VMD as they are not meant to have complete coverage of the forcefield. It's always best to get the full set of topology and parameters from MacKerell's website.
