Yes, it can still be an issue on Windows, if you are unaware of the
steps necessary to prevent automatic conversion from CMYK to RGB. The
latest versions of FrameMaker have improved CMYK support built-in, but
there are still reports of it being tricky. So I have stuck with using
EPS for graphics. FrameMaker passes EPS around the Windows GDI,
eliminating the potential of unexpected CMYK to RGB or Pantone to RGB
conversions by Windows. I don't use Pantone colors, so someone else
would have to comment on the details of using them.
It's also important to be sure that Acrobat isn't set to convert colors.

This begs a question, with my apologies if it has been belabored here in the
past.
In pre-press work on Mac, I often had extensive struggles with the final PDFs
for all sorts of reasons (extraneous plates, hairlines and so on), but
'helpful' conversion *from* CMYK was never one of them.
Is this still an issue with Windows FrameMaker? The thought of Pantones being
converted to RGB is the stuff of nightmares.
