What do you think the best patch would be? I'm a bit lost, because I 
don't know what was discussed on the OpenBabel lists.

Would this change tackle it ?

if (  atom.getMassNumber() == null ||
      (atom.getMassNumber() != null && atom.getMassNumber() > 1)) {
       return true;
}

The match is then true for all these test cases

         test("[C@@]1(CCC(C)=CC1=O)C(C)=C[H]");
         test("[H][C@@]1(CCC(C)=CC1=O)C(C)=C");
         test("[H][H]");
         test("[2H]");
         test("[H]");
                

thanks
