This looks very strange that from the whole assortment of the molecules in the force field only a humble methyl group in thymine lacks proper definition causes such an error. Even nucleotides which I added myself to the force field files don't produce any errors Is there any way to remedy this without significant hassle? What things are exactly lacking?

Unfortunately, the parameters required for certain virtual sites in nucleic 
acids are not define in the force field files that are shipped with Gromacs.

Trying to add hydrogen virtual sites to the model (using -vsites h option in 
pdb2gmx) results in a salvo of error messages when running grommp to create 
.tpr file after the solvation:

ERROR 1 [file topol_DNA_chain_A2.itp, line 1033]:
  No default Constr. No Conn. types


ERROR 2 [file topol_DNA_chain_A2.itp, line 1034]:
  No default Constr. No Conn. types

This lines in constraints section in the .itp file refer to pairs of two MCH3 
and one MC atoms, which should serve (the way I understand the situation) as 
replacement methyl group in thymine. There are several more pairs of same 
errors corresponding to different thymine methyl groups in the DNA strands.

Here is the relevant sections of the itp file for the first two errors:
