Maybe you could send some working and non-working examples to the dev 
mailing list so they can try to fox the problem or improve the algorithm.

I would avoid that: even if the programs try to play nicely with each 
other you may very well loose a bit of information each time without 
noticing it. A one time export is OK if you take time to check.

The BibTeX site (http://www.bibtex.org/Links/) points to Bibshare (but 
the site doesn't reply). Another often used tool is Bibtex4Word 
(http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/hp/staff/dmb/perl/). I have never tried any of 
those and was a bit disapointed by similar tools for Open Office (but it 
was a few years ago so they may have improve and Word-versions are may 
be better).
