The question about panelized board with Kicad: duplicated references

I'm facing a little problem with Kicad, my project has 4 different PCBs and to save cost I'm preparing a panel containing 2*4 PCBs with breaking tabs.
I use pcbnew and the "Append board" feature to add my boards into a bigger one.
It seems to work fine but the component designators are conflicting with each other, since each board has been designed as a separate project so I end up with several C1, C2, C3 etc. in the Pick&Place file:
Theoritically, since each line has the package, component value and position, there is no confusion possible even with the identical names. But it feels a bit weird.
Should I do something about it ?
