The MOSFET is a four terminal device. When you use the three terminal pMOS
node Electric connects the well to vdd, but you have the vdd symbol in the
cell. The schematic you sent won't connect the bodies anywhere. Further the
bodies (n-well) of your p Transistor layouts are not connected. It doesn't
make sense to NCC these incomplete drawings.

To see what Electric is doing with no body connections I generated the
spice netlist for the schematic resulting in:

MM1 M1_d M1_g net@0 PMOS L=1.2U W=24U
MM2 net@0 M2_g M2_s PMOS L=1.2U W=24U

As expected no body connection (the syntax is: Mname D G S *B* model name
L= W=), B is missing above.

Next I generated the spice netlist from the layout:

MM1 net@0 M1_poly-left net@1 *vdd* PMOS L=1.2U W=24U AS=39.6P AD=39.6P
PS=51.3U
+PD=51.3U
MM2 net@2 M2_poly-left net@0 *vdd* PMOS L=1.2U W=24U AS=39.6P AD=39.6P
PS=51.3U
+PD=51.3U

Even though there isn't a well connection the bodies are tied to vdd
(perhaps this is a bug...though the well check would catch it).

Can you post some examples of the problem with correct body connections in
both schematics and layouts along with complete circuits? Perhaps there is
an issue (hash code) but all of these other problems are hiding it.
