Comment 12 for bug 1732236

I'm pretty sure the reloading issue was fixed. The rescue dialog should
have flagged the bad part name and requested a rescue. If you ignored
this or have rescuing turned off, there is not much we can do about
that. That being said, I agree that you should not be able to place a
symbol with an invalid name in the first place. I will take a look at this.
