Eagle import assigns via to wrong net.

Description

we're migrating all my projects from eagle to kicad.

We imported a simple eagle design and afterwards found on unrouted net.

Turns out the via was a ground via and was now in kicad connected to one of the nets.

For this simple pcb of course we can fix this, but I'm afraid that if kicad eagle import keeps "getting things wrong" then we'll be in trouble later on when we get to the more complicated projects.

import eagle design, re-sync pcb with schematic and observe vias not assigned to the correct net.

Steps to reproduce

  1. click on import eagle
  2. click on the file to import.
  3. in PCB editor view
