Well, no, it's the same problem that was reported some time ago. Your
lattice has a higher symmetry (tetragonal I) than triclinic (ibrav=14):
   ibrav     = 7, celldm(1) =     16.22739617, celldm(3) =      0.6324556
corresponding to crystal axes (alat units)
               a(1) = (   0.500000  -0.500000   0.316228 )
               a(2) = (   0.500000   0.500000   0.316228 )
               a(3) = (  -0.500000  -0.500000   0.316228 )
with atomic positions (no warranty):
ATOMIC_POSITIONS {alat}
         Si  0.0000000   0.0000000   0.0000000
         Si  0.4000000   0.8000000   0.0000000
         Si  0.6000000   0.2000000   0.0000000
         Si  0.2000000   0.4000000   0.0000000
         Si  1.0000000   0.5000000   0.1581139
         Si  0.6000000   0.7000000   0.1581139
         Si  0.4000000   0.3000000   0.1581139
         Si  0.2000000  -0.1000000   0.1581139
         C   0.8000000   0.6000000   0.0000000
         C   0.8000000   0.1000000   0.1581139

The symmetry searching algorithm detects one symmetry, in addition to the
identity, and this is compatible with the FFT grid computed for the
tetragonal I lattice (48 48 48: the three lattice vectors have the same
length), but not for the triclinic lattice (60 60 48: two vectors have the
same length, different from the third).
