    This happens because the box has his pivot centered, and when you move the vertices or faces, the pivot remains in his original place.
    About to reset pivot, i'm also want to now how! :)

    So this is a little hacky to get this working, but you can move the pivot freely of the bsp and save it's pivot location wherever you want. Unfortunately there isn't a simple "center pivot" option, that I know of.

    -Select your BSP brush and go to Geometry Editing mode.
    -You can alt middle mouse click in the perspective view to move the pivot wherever you like. (Don't click off the bsp mesh or it will reset the pivot back)
    -In an orthographic view right click on the brush and go to Pivot > Save Pivot to Pre-Pivot. (For some reason they removed this functionality from the perspective view in 4.3, no idea why)

    Also if you right click on a BSP vertex in any view it will snap the pivot to that vertex then you can save the pre-pivot to that location. I find this faster than dealing with trying to find the center of the BSP brush.

    Hope that helps!
