results in a wrong atom order in the molecule: the two O atoms are mixed.
The atom order according to the xyz is:

\But looking at the molecule, the connectivity is:
atom 1: {<Atom 'C'>: <Bond "1.0">, <Atom 'H'>: <Bond "1.0">}
atom 6: {<Atom 'C'>: <Bond "2.0">}

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported initialization of O=CCCCCO from the supplied xyz coordinates and inspect the atom-ordering and connectivity path; no source file or test is named in the issue. Done means the two oxygen atoms retain the correct xyz order while the molecule connectivity remains correct for this input.
