I remember that one, but that affected text in main text flows, didn't it? Really annoying; but that never really plagued me so I must have applied the hot-fix pretty early on.
At the time I had the dropped caption problem I remember thinking: "You'd think Adobe could make products that work with other Adobe products; but then, what's Microsoft's excuse since it has had so many problems having it's productivity software work as described with its own operating system." I think software is just hard.

As I recall, the problem was with the MS Postscript processor. There was a Microsoft hotfix issued to deal with it. At the time, the problem and fix were pretty well known on this forum.
