Reliable total energies not dependent on NBANDS are obtained using a serial vasp executable. Reasons behind the fluctuation of the total atomic energy calculated using a parallelized code are under investigation.

Thank you. My installation of vasp gives energy depenedence on NBANDS (for the inputs presented above) also when run in serial (mpiexec -np 1 vasp). I don't have a version compiled strictly without any mpi symbols.
