Select by ID in Family files

It seems there is a deficiently in revit family files when selecting some items by ID number. If you try selecting a Line or detail component in a family file you will get the following message:

The select by ID of masking regions, model geometry and sketch lines seems to work fine. Working the other way around, i.e. “IDs of Selection” works correctly and is the only way finding the above items that you can’t find using “Select by ID”

The above bug happens in Revit 2010 SP1 as well as Revit 2009.
