Was the change related to an attribute?
Some attributes are propagated on placement. That is, they become a local 
property of the instance in the schematics. For them the entry in the 
symbol file is a default rather than a constant. If you change these 
attributes in the symbol file, the update won't change the attribute on 
the schematics. This includes the position and the font size of the 
attribute.  IIRC the footprint and the refdes are such special 
attributes. You can change them locally -- Select the symbol and type ee 
to get open the attribute editor.
