Does LDD's LDraw importer actually work?

I recently had a Bricksmith user write asking for help importing an LDraw file
into LDD. (He was using LDraw because LDD made it very difficult to build his
model.) But when he attempts to import the LDraw file, he sees at most the first
brick of the model and nothing else.
I verified this on LDD 3.0.11 for Mac OS X. If I export an LDD file containing
nothing but 2 1x1 bricks not touching each other, LDD produces a valid LDraw
file. Attempting to import said file back into LDD (with no changes) doesn’t
work. Sometimes I get only the first brick ready to place; sometimes I get
nothing at all. In no instance do I get any error message; only the little
import-finished bleep noise.
Is this a Mac-only thing? Is it a problem with the latest version? I can’t find
any older versions available for download. My e-mail to Lego technical support
hasn’t been answered yet either.
Thanks,
Allen
