Can you check both a footprint from a "newlib" library such as 
"2_pin_thru-hole_package" and from an "oldlib" library such as
"~geda"?  The "~" indicates oldlib.  The mechanism for locating
and instantiating footprints from these libraries is different.

Based on what you find I'll have more questions.
