Not to beat this horse much further into the ground, but why would I place a callout to an item in a graphic outside the frame containing the graphic?
Obviously, if I place the callout outside the frame containing the illustration, there is not binding of the callouts and the illustration. If I place the callouts inside the graphic frame containing the illustration I can then bind them together as one object, after grouping. Then I don't care what happens outside the graphic frame, everything in the frame stays together.

This is why the graphic flows with the text. It shouldn't be necessary to group text lines or text frames with the graphic in the anchored frame, for the callouts to move with the anchored frame; the callouts just need to inside the anchored frame. The best way to assure that they are is to be sure that the mouse pointer is inside the boundary of the anchored frame when you drag the callout, then release the mouse. To select the text frame callout, press Ctrl when you point the mouse over the text frame; this changes the cursor to a graphic pointer. When the text frame is selected, you can release Ctrl and just drag the callout inside the anchored frame boundary. You can position the callouts within the anchored frame by dragging, or by selecting and using the arrow keys to move by one pixel per key press, or use Shift+arrow keys to move by five pixels.
