I am using Maya 8.5 to export so the model format is Alias/Autodesk industry format. See my export option

I have test it in Deep exploration, reimport in Maya, have my friend test in 3DSMax, view with Motion Builder, and all is okie.
===================
By the way, I get the same thing with .X format, weight/vertex = 1 also the .X file view good in X viewer
