Help!
Assuming you are talking about a Oneworld Explorer ticket...

Yes, this is an error in the planning tool
It is hopelessly out of date with regards the rules about second visits to continents (amongst other things)

The Seychelles are part of Africa
You are allowed a second visit to the continent of Europe/Middle East in conjunction with travel to/from/via Africa

So your proposed itinerary (IAD-LHR-SEZ-DOH-SYD...) IS valid
- as would be ...LHR-SEZ-LHR...
- or ...DOH-SEZ-DOH...
But you will not be able to book it online using the tool
You will have to contact an airline or a travel agent
