Harmless unless you actually have unlocked the component - and then the classic missing pad can be generated. Select a net (or connected copper), which includes components with unlocked primitives. Delete the selection and away go the pads. This is a problem and it would be nice if Protel gave a warning that component entities were about to be deleted/moved by this action.
