Wire Sequence Problem - Looks right, sequences wrong

First, a little background.  The symbol shown in hte first attached image uses extra TERM?? attributes to hold what would normally be done with the TERMDESC?? attributes.  If I were inserting these coils as single symbols, that's what I would have used, but since these are always used in 3 phase sets, I want one block to represent that.  So I had to use the extra TERM?? attributes.  (TERM03, TERM06 & TERM09)

 

The pinlist for this is shown below the symbol and it's exploded parts and works like a charm. 

 

The problem comes in when I try to do a wire sequence on this.  As you can see in the second image, even when using the "Pick Mode" the pins reported don't match what is clearly visible.  In one instance it is picking up the pin on the oppsite side of the device (Y21) and another is picking up the extra TERM?? value.  (V02)

 

Running the "Show Wire Sequence" command, it looks right.  (See image 3)

 

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Have to agree, really strange.

If you zoom in at the connection point.. there aren't any duplicate X8TERMXX (or similar) attributes there? 
Hard to tell from Image #1 😄

No, it looks clean.  But I may have found the problem.

 

My XTERM attributes are as follows.  From top to bottom then left to right, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06. I'm going to try shifting those to account for the extra TERMXX attributes.  It shouldn't matter, but maybe it does.

 

 

And that fixed it.
