In addition to the shift up, there is also a large shift to the right following revision
3230.  Here are the pertinent lines of text from the ethernet.sch file:

F 0 "R157" V 10775 5040 60  0000 L CNN
F 1 "75 1%" V 10775 4615 60  0000 L CNN


from

$Comp
L R R157
U 1 1 46073CC7
P 10850 4850
F 0 "R157" V 10775 5040 60  0000 L CNN
F 1 "75 1%" V 10775 4615 60  0000 L CNN
F 2 "SM0603" H 11000 5150 60  0001 C CNN
F 4 "Digi-Key P75 0HCT-ND" H 11000 5150 60  0001 C CNN "Vendor"
F 5 "Panasonic ERJ-3EKF75R0V" H 11000 5150 60  0001 C CNN "Manufacturer"
    1    10850 4850
    0    1    1    0  
$EndComp


On the same schematic there is another R component that appears to have its VALUE and
REFERENCE fields in the *correct* position:

$Comp
L R R74
U 1 1 4553A7C6
P 2750 5250
F 0 "R74" V 2800 5400 60  0000 L CNN
F 1 "49.9 1%" V 2800 4900 60  0000 L CNN
    1    2750 5250
    0    -1   -1   0  
$EndComp


The bug (if it is one) is shifting the text up and to the right, on some components, *but
not all*.

Thanks,

Dick
