The problem is that the system is expecting two 1x14 headers, and you have only one module. So on the schematic there will be two pin 1,s two pin 2's and so on. That is what is prob causing the wires to appear and not be connected.
I don't think Kicad has anything like the concept of a this ratsnest connector you mention in eagle. Every component should have it's own module. The only thing that might help, is that you can place a module on the PCB that does not appear on the schematic, it will not have any connections routed to it, but you can still add tracks manually.
