Bug Description
In the attached project, a student of mine has created a schematic with some custom symbols. He shared the project, schematic and cache. I extracted the files to a new directory, opened the project and Eeschema does not prompt to rescue the symbols that only exist in the cache. Additionally, attempting to manually invoke "Rescue Symbols" gives the dialog "This project has nothing to rescue".
However, saving the project will give an error "Errors occurred creating symbol library", after which the cache file has been overwritten and the associated symbols are gone.

Maybe this is related to this bug about the colon missing in the cache lib?
