Audio Automation Doesn't Travel With Clips

Greetings.  I'm cutting a sequence in premier, and use an Avid Artist Mix regularly.  I was excited to learn that I could use it with Premiere, and thought I could do a quick mix pass on my sequence.  However, it seems that the automation written to the tracks does not travel with the clips.  Is there a way to make this happen?  Often, editors share sequences, and end up copying edited material from multiple sequences into another.  It is unfortunate for the mix to be blown away overtime this happens.  Can the automation be copied separately?  Forgive me, but in this current state, this entire feature is rather useless.  I do hope I'm missing something.
