1. Create a PCB layout
2. Add a ground plane (copper pour + GND)
3. Hit rebuild copper area
-> All air wires that were GND disappear : GOOD!
4. Move a part that has a GND pad
-> Verify that air wires are added back for GND pads!
If it's not a user error (might very well be), then I'd consider this a very serious bug. It makes it really, really difficult to properly create a layout.
