FM7 Trial XDocBook Problems

I'm evaluating FrameMaker 7 as the potential core of a single-source documentation system and have had the following problems:

1) When I export a document to XML using XDocbook as the structured app and have IndexTerm items (for use in HTMLHelp), the generated XML incorrectly has tags that look like:

<indexterm/><primary>test</primary></indexterm>

when they should be

<indexterm><primary>test</primary></indexterm>

This causes several error messages on the save and means that I have to manually edit the resulting XML file

2)I can't export XML that contains equations. I get the error:

"Cannot export graphic or equation contents"

In the documentation it suggests that equations should be converted into images automatically, but this doesn't seem to happen.

Any ideas?
