The problem doesn't show up when I use gsch2pcb from geda 1.6.0.
But the board I'm doing was created using gschem from geda 1.4.0, so I'm
still experiencing the problem.

I don't understand too much about the internals of the pcb file format,
so I wasn't able to figure out that makes the difference in the PCB
files. If I knew the problem, I probably could fix up my pcb file ...
