I saw no problems on the one board "11" - everything with bottom side pads appeared to be on the bottom. But on "12" I saw what you're talking about. Then I generated a project library from it, and lo-and-behold about half of the components have their pads on the bottom. There are a few components which don't, and those have at least one instance on the PCB which is correct. So I speculate that sometime in the distant past you got some mangled components from somewhere, and just propogated the problems forward with copy-and-paste. You did, after all, mention that the problem only occured with designs where you had done extensive importing. I'd guess that most likely the origin was in changing the layer of the ref des, which used to confuse Protel severely about which layer a part was on.
As to fixing it, I don't see any handy way except to clean up the library, then reload the affected parts from the library and flip them to the bottom as needed.
