I have had the same problem in the past. From my experience, saving a MIF file from within Frame can be the culprit. In my case, I created the MIF files in an ASCII editor and included only those items that I wanted to import. I opened the MIF text file in Frame and imported. Everything worked well. However, if I saved the MIF file from within Frame, Frame automatically added a lot of default "system" variables to the saved MIF file. My specific problem involved overwriting running headers and footers with the internal values in Frame.
My solution: I create the MIF file in an ASCII editor and open it with Frame. I then perform the import. Here is the key (at least for me): close the MIF file WITHOUT saving it. As long as I open the file, use it, then close it without saving, everything works as I want. Hopefully, it will help you.
