No, sorry - the NC symbol is not "special", so any connection to it will
be given a net name.

The nicest workaround I can think of is to stop the netlister outputting
nets which only have a single item in them (essentially a no-connect).

If you want to see this - please file a feature request on Sourceforge,
as it'll get forgotten otherwise.
