[Framers] FrameMaker and Dropbox?

This is probably for people with some knowledge of FrameMaker internals...

My clients have persistent issues saving FrameMaker binary files to 
Dropbox-synced filesystems (even local filesystems that are synced to 
Dropbox). FrameMaker presents a warning that it cannot save the file, 
and moves the file to a new copy with a random three-character extension.

Best workaround is to turn off Dropbox syncing when working with FrameMaker.

Question: Does the FrameMaker "Dropbox" feature (File>Utilities>Save to 
Dropbox folder) do anything special to mitigate this issue?
