I apologize. This is a bug- it will be fixed in the next
release. However, you should be able to use simply HD* or HG* in this
case.

sum averaging is usually used, which usually effectively picks out the
shortest distance.

That algorithm is not implemented for distance restraints, and I'm not
convinced it will work particularly well. Sum averaging is probably a
better bet.
