Perry,

What version of Hspice are you running?

In the combined IV curves for the LVDS driver model, where do the
pullup/p-clamp and pulldown/g-clamp cross 0mA, and are there data points
explicitly stating the 0mA crossing in the tables?

Have you ran other simulations with the IBIS driver model in Hspice that
  gave you expected results?

I would suggest running an IV sweep on the LVDS IBIS model and comparing
the resulting IV curves with the IV curves in the IBIS model.
