According to the official Gerber spec at ( http://www.ucamco.com/Portals/0/Public/The_Gerber_File_Format_Specification.pdf ) the repetetive G01 is not required. It is only actually required once until the mode is changed. I *think* this is what KiCad does.

This would seem to be borne out by the fact that KiCad gerbers load fine into Pentalogix (Lavenir) Viewmate, Cam 350 (surely the the two most common ones in the professional world?) and Gerbv without problem. I've had 6 KiCad PCBs done in the last 2 months and had zero questions or queries from the PCB manufactuers.

Is OP seeing something else?
