Well then it is a little weird - a little. 3DS is not as normed as it should be. So there are different variations around. Some Vue can read better, others it cant. I normally get a warnign when i use 3DS from Cinema4D, even with a very late version 8. Especially the textures are identified as a problem. Maybe you can report that issue to E-on, they are surely interested especially when different Vue versions show different ways to deal with it. Sorry that i cant help more.
