Homebrew PCBs

Yeah, Eagle can be screwy sometimes.
I don't think I've encountered exactly your problem, but I've only been
using Eagle for a month. My only suggestion would be to totally delete the
part in the schematic and add a new one. This isn't as bad as it sounds,
since all the connections should remain in place. Just make sure that they
all get re-connected. This often requires moving the part and nets more than
once in the schematic.
Good luck!
