Hm...

Following the documentation we always have to do the translation to 0/0,
when we save a symbol. When we really have to do it always, it can and
should be done automatically.

Indeed, I can remember that I onece forgot that translation, got a
broken symbol with pins not aligned to 100 multiples of grid and start
symbol creation again from scratch, because I was not sure how to fix it
after storing to disk. But I have never really investigated this step.
