Exactly.

The technical answer is: because findHydrogenPositions() fails, and  
failure is indicated by an exception.

Of course, I could change the way findHydrogenPositions() is supposed  
to work, and let it leave hydrogens undefined if they are attached to  
undefined atoms. But: would this make any practical difference? In  
both cases you are informed that there is a problem and you need to  
do something about it.
