I think it has to do with wither the cross-reference source and
destination are in the same file. If the source (the place were the
cross-reference is located) is in File A and the destination is in File
B, I think you can copy that cross-reference to File C without a
problem. Likewise if the source and destination are both in File A, you
can copy the cross-reference to other places in File A.
But if the source and destination are both in File A, you may not be
able to copy the cross-reference to File B. Likewise if the source is in
File A and the destination is in File B, you may not be able to copy the
cross-reference to File A.
I'm not 100% sure about all this. I've just noticed certain combinations
don't work and certain do. If anyone has more definitive information,
please let us know.

I have a lot of new in-book xrefs to add, so I am finding the first such
instance, setting up the xref, then copy/pasting it to all other required
locations in the book. What I' actually doing is replacing a plain-text version
of a heading with an xref to the heading, to ensure consistency.
What's happening is that I get no unresolved xrefs, but after I've closed the
book files and then reopened them, many of the pasted copies of the xref have
become unresolved (maybe those that were pasted into a different chapter to the
one from which the original xref was copied, but I've not checked for this in
detail). Bringing up the xref dialog on the unresolved xrefs just gives a pick
list of xref markers within the current chapter.
Am I trying to do something FrameMaker doesn't support? I though I'd done this
before and it had worked, but I can't swear to it.
