Yes, it seems to be a grenum bug. Thanks for reporting it, I check it later
on. However, you can use the renumber mechanism inside gschem i.e.
Attributes->Autonumber text. Just run as it is at the first time, then clarify
slotted issues, then make sure you have the Override existing numbers
unchecked. I am the author of grenum, but I have to admit that I use the
Autonumber feature instead of grenum.
