Yep, that's the workaround for this particular bug: 

1. Save all files in the book. 
2. Convert all text insets to text. 
3. Create PDF. 
4. Close all files *without saving*.

Step 4 is, of course, critical. If you have FrameScript, the whole
process can be automated. If you have to do it manually, be careful and
consider working on copies of your files.
