Good point. You could work around that issue by opening the file, saving it again as a package (to a disk that supported doing so) and then pulling out the image. The key is that document information isn't lost when it is saved as a flat file; it is not the same notion as Photoshop's "flattening" which does irretrievably throw away information.
