Cross-references need to be handled a little differently when used in 
text insets. FrameMaker help says this:

==


    Insert a cross-reference to a paragraph in a text inset

If you insert a paragraph cross-reference to a text inset, the 
cross-reference marker is sometimes lost when the text inset is updated. 
To prevent the marker from being lost, first insert a cross-reference to 
the paragraph in the text inset's source document.

 1.

    Open the source of the inset by double-clicking the inset and then
    clicking Open Source from the Text Inset Properties panel.

 2.

    Insert a cross-reference to the paragraph anywhere in the source
    document.

 3.

    Delete the cross-reference text. The marker remains.

 4.

    Save the source document, and then in the document that contains the
    text inset, update the text inset by choosing Edit > Update References.

 5.

    Insert a spot cross-reference, this time in the document that
    contains the inset. The cross-reference uses the marker in the
    updated inset.
