As a user of gschem, I don't consider this a special case at all. On contrary, it's the normal case of creating named pin connections or power rails. I never even use the net= attribute for hidden power/ground so the :1 doesn't buy me anything. +1000 for a patch to make I/O pin symbols visually clean without requiring maintaining duplicate attributes as at present.
