It's a bug, as far as I can tell.

Yes and no: the atom type ("cl" in this case) is enough to determine both the
mass and the atomic number. If LEaP is getting either one wrong, that's a bug
that should be fixed. The ATOMIC_NUMBER section is relatively recent, so we
need to make sure that this bug is fixed. LEaP knows that the element is
"Cl" -- this needs to be correctly translated into the correct atomic number.
[The sustiva test case has commented out the check of the prmtop file that is
created, which is one reason we didn't see this before now.]

This is, of course, prudent, but we (as developers) need to get this fixed.
Thanks for the report.
