I tried opening the board under Fedora Linux with Kicad 4.0.7 using pcbnew in stand-alone mode, and the hole is visible, as shown in the attached screen-shot.

If not, I will mail it to any and all of you to look at.  I won't obfuscate, I'd be afraid to disturb the problem.  I see no real problem sharing the board with Kicad developers but can also understand why my employer is not keen to have our boards posted on the internet.

I have a PCB that has a NPH hole located off the board, I can't see it or select it inside PCBNew, however, it gets a hole in the gerbers and I can find it in the kicad_pcb file if I open the file with a text editor.
