Alternate Images and Microsoft Cursor Error

[kepNCI]

Occassionally on my deployment diagrams when using an aternate image with visible attributes (tags and notes) I receive the following error when I attempt to save the diagram:

Microsoft Cursor Error [-2147467259]
Data provider or other service returned an E_FAIL status

Appears to be associated with the placement of the visible attributes of the ogject using the alternate image. If I move the attributes (not the image) to another location in the diagram the error sometimes goes away. I have yet to determine a consistent condition(s) that always causes the error.

Any ideas?  It is happening more that I would like and takes a good bit of playing around with the daigram to get a good save.
