There is also another subtle bug you can hit that involves the remap process 
and how it modifies the project files when you are just opening an old 
schematic to look at it.

Open an old schematic, go through the remap process, then after the 
schematic has loaded exit eeschema without doing a save. The next time you 
open the schematic it will be at least partially broken. It doesn't matter 
if you remap or not the second time. Doing a remap a second time will show 
less breakage than if you skip that process the second.
