IMHO, multi symbol components is a weak spot of gschem. Only the special 
case of multiple, identical symbols seems to be supported satisfactory. A 
separate power symbol needs special care and feeding. Inappropriate 
automatic renumbering has already been mentioned. The footprint attribute 
is also fragile. Gnetlist only respects the footprint attribute of the 
last symbol of a given refdes in the *.sch file. Giving all symbols of a 
component the same footprint attribute makes gnetlist happy. But it means 
redundant information and possibly a trap when changing footprints. My 
work-around is to exclusively attach the footprint to the power symbol 
and manually order the subsymbols with an ascii editor.
