I had somethign very similar to that happen on an IC I created. What I finally had to do was to hand-edit the text file to remove the duplicated parts. After that, I could edit the part to complete the fine touches.
On a side note, are these formats documented anywhere? I figured out enough to hand edit it to get the duplicated parts.

Select the appropriate number of "Parts per Component" (three in this case because I was doing a DPDT relay). Draw part A (the coil). A rectangular box w/ two leads. The "Common to Units" box is unchecked for all objects. Draw part B (contact block). Now here, for some reason, the two leads from part A have migrated to part B. (Just the leads, not the rectangle, so I have two pins on an otherwise blank sheet.) If I try to clear these leads on part B they are also cleared on part A. When I put the three leads on part B they migrate to part A. (Note the "Common to Units" box is still unchecked.) Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Am I taking the wrong approach? BTW I'm using ver. 20090216-final on XP.
