pd1180-epr (techmannih)ECADConfidence: Medium

Failing repro PR: a TI TPD4S480 import gave connector-side pins 4/5 the same CC1/CC2 aliases as protected-side pins 12/11, merging four CC nets into two and creating false internal connections, and the KiCad exporter then emitted seven extra vias on top of existing ones, 650 vias where 643 are real.
