BTW I have a slightly different problem I can't quite figure out: I can load an alembic file with geometry from Maya and everything moves as it should. If I then export the animation only (pointcache and SRT) and keep hierarchy, not flettening it, then load it onto my ref model, some parts don't move any longer - they have no alembic_xform ops. The naming is the same per item - what might cause this?
