Lets make it even simpler. This whole thing also affects schematics without any hierarchical sheets in it. I made a quick screencast [1] of what happens if you append a sheet with one single symbol in it to another one with also one symbol in it. The expectation would be that the original symbol (J2) keeps its annotation and only the one from the source sheet (X1) should loose it.

It has also been reported on the forum [2]. In that case there is already an existing layout. Loosing the annotation means that the layout and schematic get out of sync.

I attached the projects i used to create the screencast.
