Generated MDL misses radical #1024

I'm converting InChI-Strings to MDL using the following lines of code:

public static String generateMolStringFromInChI(String inchi) throws CDKException, IOException {
	InChIGeneratorFactory factory = InChIGeneratorFactory.getInstance();
	InChIToStructure intostruct = factory.getInChIToStructure(inchi, DefaultChemObjectBuilder.getInstance());

	new StructureDiagramGenerator().generateCoordinates(intostruct.getAtomContainer());

	StringWriter molStringWriter = new StringWriter();
	MDLV2000Writer writer = new MDLV2000Writer(molStringWriter);
	writer.write(intostruct.getAtomContainer());
	writer.close();

	String molString = molStringWriter.toString();
	molStringWriter.close();

	return molString;
}

It works fine, but the output seems to be wrong in case the input has a radical.

Example input:

InChI=1S/C2H5/c1-2/h1H2,2H3

Output:


  CDK     11242310542D

  2  1  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0999 V2000
    0.0000    0.0000    0.0000 C   0  0  0  0  0  3  0  0  0  0  0  0
    1.5000    0.0000    0.0000 C   0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0
  1  2  1  0  0  0  0
M  END

Instead, the output should be (note the extra line M RAD ...) if I'm correct:


  CDK     11242310542D

  2  1  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0999 V2000
    0.0000    0.0000    0.0000 C   0  0  0  0  0  3  0  0  0  0  0  0
    1.5000    0.0000    0.0000 C   0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0
  1  2  1  0  0  0  0
M  RAD  1   1   2
M  END
