There is an other issue:
if the separate symbol power pins unit does not exist (for some reason: not added, or with a
incorrect reference), the ERC does not detect the component is not powered.

Fixing that should be in V6 version (as separate symbol power pins unit is a good idea), but it
cannot be made in V5.x
