[AMBER] cpptraj Error: Atom was assigned a lower molecule # than previous atom

Hi all, I have a 6 domain protein which I have truncated to contain 11,746
atoms in 761 residues. There are a few amino acids missing beginning at
residue 248 so I've put capping groups at either end of the gap. All works
fine until I try to bond Cyx residues from different domains. tleap does
not complain but when I try to use the resulting topology file in cpptraj I
get:
"*Error: Atom 3796 was assigned a lower molecule # than previous atom.*"
Atom 3796 is in residue 250, just after the missing loop. I guess tleap is
bonding the inter-domain Cyx residues and then assigning molecule numbers
based on which residues are connected together.

This is a problem when I try to autoimage with the resulting topology file
as cpptraj claims the file does not contain molecule information.

A similar problem was encountered previously and the cpptraj developer
Daniel Roe was working on a fix:

I'm using ambertools 14 built in April 2014. If a fix has become available
please let me know how to use it. I can "cheat" by not bonding the
inter-domain Cyx residues in tleap. This provides a topology file that
allows me to image my trajectories.

tleap bond commands which cause the problem to occur:
bond mol.157.SG mol.395.SG
bond mol.380.SG mol.619.SG
bond mol.604.SG mol.172.SG

Command used after tleap and error:
cpptraj -p CPLX_Neut_Sol.prmtop -i ptraj.in
