From the Adobe support site:

"Adobe FrameMaker doesn't support transparency in image files (for
example, EPS, TIFF, GIF, or JPEG). When you import an image, FrameMaker
maps any transparent pixels to white to enable irregular text
runarounds. If FrameMaker did not map transparent areas of images to
white, text runarounds would not work correctly with the image."
