Built-in supply symbols are generating incorrect net names.

The "Power_Symbols" library generates incorrect names for nets.
For example, put the +3.3V symbol on a page and draw a net with a label, you get:
You can see that this should be +3V3 (and not 3.3V or +3.3V). If you draw using the +1.8V symbol you get the same net name!
This can lead to disasterous results! Imagine putting nets all over the place and assume that they are named correctly only to find out that your 3.3V rail is being pushed into your 1.8V rail! This will fry chips like DDR memory or MPU's!
The "supply1" and "supply2" don't have this problem from the old Eagle libraries. Can somebody fix this before we burn out boards? The bad part is, because the net names are the same, when you connect something up it will not warn you about connecting 3.3V and 1.8V together!
