I'm not sure why swapped pins in the system libraries would be an issue
since the cached components should product the correct schematic.
Assuming the rescue library is properly fetching the components from the
cache library, I can't see how any changes in the system libraries would
cause this.  Unfortunately, did not make a back up of the cache library
of the schematic I rescued so there is no way to get back that
information.  I'll see if I have another project that causes the issue.
