On a couple of data sheets namely Philips and a generic one I have, have the Emitter as pin 3. In general shouldn't the Emitter be pin 1? In kicad all the Emitters are pin 1 which I thought was pretty much an industry standard, but I guess not.
With regard to pinouts, "Industry Standard" is a contradiction in terms. The problem you describe happens all the time and in my opinion is the worst on three pin devices. I make my devices based on part number for this exact reason.
