Unfortunately it went deeper than I expected. I found that there is a 
corner case not handled properly by the new layer model.
 
The real fix would be too drastic for now, in the sense that it would 
affect too many lines of code, posing too much risk on stability and would 
require a lot of user testing - not just in subcircuits, but in layer 
handing in general.
 
So I decided to add a workaround that will handle most cases for now, 
without the need of the real fix. As of r11970, loading a lihata board to 
buffer should already work, except one thing:
 
*** if the loaded board contains subcircuits, paste will assert() ***
 
This is a known bug for now, and will be addressed early in the next 
development cycle.
 
Regards,
