Replaced images not saved to XML?

Hello All
FrameMaker 11, DITA, with DITA-FMx installed.
I wonder if anyone else has seen this anomaly which has bitten us a few
times. If you replace an image using File > Import > File option,
FrameMaker does not replace the image location in the XML. The scenario
goes like this:
1. Create a concept topic.
2. Add a <fig> element and a nested <image> element (inside a <p>).
Choose image1.png and shrinkwrap the frame.
3. Save the file.
4. Inspect the XML. The XML reads:
<fig><title>My image Placeholder</title>
<p><image href="image1.png" height="144" width="191" align="center"
placement="inline" /></p></fig>
5. Close the file and reopen it.
6. Select the image inside the anchored frame, and delete it.
7. Select the anchored frame and do File > Import > File. Select
image2.png and shrinkwrap the frame.
8. Save the file.
9. Inspect the XML. The XML reads:
<fig><title>My image Placeholder</title>
<p><image href="image1.png" height="249" width="213" align="center"
placement="inline" /></p></fig>
The new image location is not replaced in the XML, but the dimensions
are replaced. Result:
a. You have the wrong image in your file.
b. This wrong image is distorted to fit the original image dimensions
(insult added to injury!).
Can anyone confirm this before I send a bug report to Adobe?
