Sorry but IMHO that's a bug. There is an hidden *footprint name* which is set
during the creation but isn't editable anywere (if it isn't I haven't found
it). IIRC it's the 'Li' field in the library...
The only solution I can think about is to hand editing the component/board file
(a search & replace with the old name does the trick)
