This is perfectly harmless. Here's a patch that fixes it:
svn.openmoko.org/trunk/gta02-core/kicad-patches/fix-eeschema-libs.patch

I havent' really looked at sheet numbers yet. I think the logic
that assigns them doesn't quite work for us anyway, but that
should be fixable.

How good that we want to change then from H-TPxxxx to TPxxxx anyway :)

I'm still a few days behind, and didn't notice any trouble in
eeschema besides the library mangling. I see that my patches no
longer apply with the latest. Will update soon.

Ah, this is becoming a FAQ ;-) If you click on the disk icon,
KiCad will save all sheets. If you use File -> Save, it will
only save the current sheet.
