Error with property when using a structure from file

When loading a structure from file and initializing a property:

H2O = Structure from file 'h2o.cif'
calc = Calculator emt()
props_H2O = Property energy for H2O with calc

the following error occurs:

If the structure is defined as literal the error does not occur.
