Okay, after testing this, I actually have two "bug reports", one that I consider fairly important, and one that's minor.
Important one: IMO there *needs* to be an option to only add or update components, not remove. Here's the list of suggested changes for a board where I manually added via stitching using a via "footprint" and the array tool: https://misc.c4757p.com/nooooooo.png I don't want to remove those!! It's not a 'standard' use case, perhaps, but it's still a regression, as I was previously able to make it keep those. Minor one: don't say "Netlist update successful!" in the list of _proposed_ changes, it's a bit confusing as it seems to imply the changes have actually been made.
