AppleWorks 5: Picture Elements Disappear When Importing PICT Files

I've exported a PICT file from AppleWorks 5, which has a number of grouped objects. When I import it back into AppleWorks, or if I import the PICT into another application, some of the objects disappear when I ungroup the objects. Why is this happening?
Apple is aware of this issue and is investigating possible solutions.
