That is interesting. I was wondering if Adobe had fixed problems like this. I think the best bet would be to never use cross-references in text insets.
We found with Frame 6 that if you cross-reference inside-to-inside, inside-to-outside, or outside-to-inside that at least one of those would result in dead links in the PDF so I stopped doing that. Your problem is different but it still shows there are issues with cross-references and text insets.
