I think I've worked it out, net connections added to already
terminated (i.e. connected to pins) nets get the little blue arrow
rather than the red square.  However I don't really understand *why*

Is it because an unconnected net connected to a properly connected one
is regarded as 'OK' and won't produce an error at PCB generation time?
