I'm not quite sure if i understand you right. Are you talking about the
pin labels (BCE) or the pin type (IN/OUT/PASSIVE/PWR OUT etc.) or both?

If you mean the pin type then I agree. When i checked the symbol I was
wondering if that might be a problem but then i checked other kicad
transistor designs they all define B as input, C and E passive. (is the
same for our EMH4 symbol).
I thought passive for all pins would be the right type for exactly the
same reason if you use a transistor with a grounded base. In general
this configuration may not be very common, rf-circuits are a different
story though.
