The alignment of the pin and the wire has to be exact. Sometimes a mismatch of metric and imperial grid sizes can cause this sort of thing.
I've set up for imperial (inches).
Try zooming in as far as you can and see if there is a grid mismatch. internally kicad works in imperial rather than metric.
Been there done that. I set my grid at .05 inches (50 mils). I found that when I create the wired, the beginning connects and the end doesn't. If I reverse the creation, the connections are reversed.
I have normally been able to fix such errors my placing a junction at the troublesome point, other people find that using imperial only helps. I have also found things like duplicate lines in the lib file, can cause confusion. As you connect to one entry and not the other. Patrick has written a python script that does a number of checks on the kicad created files, and it will pick up double entries, so it's worth running things through kipy when you hit problems.
I'll have a look .
