John,
I just installed the latest VMD, a31, and the orbital loading problem appears to have been fixed. In this version, I can now load all of my orbitals.

Kelly,
Indeed, the mailing lists will silently block large file attachments
from being posted, however I received what you sent since you included
my email address in the To: line directly. I will have a look at this
when I get back from the GPU conference in about a week. I'm sure you're
right about the difference in behavior between the alpha12 and
alpha27 versions of VMD, we're in the process of rewriting the code
to make it more portable and we undoubtably broke something in the newer
rev that now needs to be corrected.
Best,
John
