Is this what you're saying: You start with an Illustrator file saved with a Mac preview. That graphic, in Frame for Mac, looks fine and is positioned properly. If you take that Illustrator file and save it with a TIFF preview, it still looks good in Mac FrameMaker. But then if you move the pair to Windows Frame, the position changes.

If that is the case, I have one idea. Do these graphics contain text? If so, is the text sitting on the page as a native font, or, did you outline the strokes? My guess is that this is unstroked text, and when it moves to Windows its metrics change, thus "stretching", in a way, the graphic.

I do a boatload of Mac to Windows work, and I can't say that I've never seen this problem. But when I do it's maybe one or two out a large number. Sometimes a plain "save as" in Illustrator is all that's needed.
