Components added to board with Update PCB from Schematic ignore "locked pads" preference setting

Description

When updating PCB from Schematic, some components are loaded as free pads, even "Lock pads of freely added footprints" is selected in Preferences. (Separately, the tooltip is confusing for that setting: it says the opposite.)
