If I were to throw a guess at the wall, I'll bet those moldings aren't dropping, but rather the rest of the post is raising. Moldings follow absolute heights while millwork objects follow the finished floor height, so when its placed into a room it's jumping up some in order to rest on the floor.

You could check the post's Elevation Reference and set it to Absolute, but I think you'll have an overall better time if you select all of the components of this post and convert it all into a symbol so that it'll be a single item.

How is that object (custom newel) being saved?

 

If it's all blocked (as an architectural block)...

 

Covert it to a symbol - then change the definition of the newels on the stair. 

 

That secondary crown under the newel cap should stay in place. 

 

Edit: Mr. T's post arrived about 30 seconds before mine. Symbol is the solution.
