I agree completely with:

What I did was simply have a Schematic Lib component for the socket with no
pins, and a corresponding PCB Lib component (footprint) that had the
silkscreen I wanted (but no pads, of course). The socket component is
placed on the schematic, so it shows up in the BOM; when you synchronize,

shouldn't! You are trying to control the BOM from the PCB, but the BOM

Ian,
I can see your points; but here's why I take the other approach of having
the IC w/pins pads, and the socket having just an overlay:
- Sometimes we only have the socket for prototype, then remove it; our
method makes it a simple change to remove the socket.
- We can have a single library
