Things like this happen and you get used to checking especially if you used imported libs.
It's not really a false association, as it is you who have told the system what to do. You also often have the situation where one footprint is used for many devices. e.g. 78xx regulators I would agree that a rather more obvious alert, perhaps during the cvtPCB sequence might be a good idea. I'm not sure about formal bug reporting, I'm sure someone will pop up and mention it, but Jean-Pierre does read and post to this group. One thing you can do, if you have a look at the eeschema part with the lib editor, and select properties, there is a footprint filter that you can use to select one or more footprints.
