OK, now I remember the old bug:

http://www.geda.seul.org/mailinglist/geda-user92/msg00121.html

I guess it is fixed for version 20081128.

Sure -- but some bugs may hide itself, maybe until gerber export.
To be safe I may export gerbers before and after I insert new layers and
compare the gerbers. But of course the gerbers may be identical, while
PCB operation fails after insertion of new layers. It's a dangerous
world...
