As you have discoverd the problem with hiding pins is the automagic merging.
This creates problems if you have a system with multiple grounds or
want to connect a
"GND" pin to something other than ground. I would strongly *encourage*
you to draw
power and ground pins and have one symbol pin for each.

http://www.gedasymbols.org/ is the place to submit your symbols.
