Research direction
Reproduce the failure in Macromolecules Flex mode using the BILN string `D(1,2)-C-A-E(1,1)` and both `Open as New` and `Add to Canvas`. Trace the import path behind those buttons and compare the parser result with the expected successful load; done means the valid string loads without an error.
