Ajax, I think you found the culprit. The origin of 'abdomen' is in fact the same as of 'BODY'. And it seems, as if the 'Restore>Figure' command copies the origin of 'abdomen' to the 'BODY' origin. This makes some sense to me, since the center of 'abdomen' is the center of a standard human body. It seems, as if Poser copies the origin of the body part, which has the external name 'Abdomen' (i.e. 'abdomen', 'Abdomen', or 'GetStringRes(1024,5)' in the library). This also makes some sense to me, because you can turn on/off the effect within Poser, by simply renaming actor 'abdomen'. So, if your figure has an 'Abdomen', the origin of 'Body' is reset to the one of 'Abdomen'. If your figure has no 'Abdomen', the origin of 'Body' goes to zero (it seems, at least). However, a body part named 'Abdomen' is ridiculous for some figures, so I would prefer a 'Restore>Figure' command, which resets 'Body' to the 'origin' values stored in the library. BTW, what bloodsong wrote, is of course correct. You should never tamper with original libraries. I always make a duplicate cr2, before I take it to the text editor.
