I just tested this, it works like that for me too. (FM9)
The xref you paste into a different file will become unresolved. Basically it will try and find the xref marker in the current file, instead of the file you copied the xref from.

There is a workaround: 
1. Paste the xref into a different chapter.
2. resolve the xref. The xref will now contain a reference to the correct file.
3. Copy the resolved xref
4. Now you can paste the xref from step 3 into all other chapters.
