An update from Air Force Times:

Schwartz: AF didn’t blame pilot in F-22 crash

"The report also stated that the F-22’s On-board Oxygen Generating System, or OBOGS, which had been under investigation, did not malfunction, but the device did shut down because of a bleed-air problem.

So the OBOGS didn't malfunction, but something else did ,,, Which caused the OBOGS to shut down.
Really sounds like they are grasping at straws trying to blame this crash on the pilot.

"The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain" What ever happened to an oxygen bottle and a mask???
