Dynamic PDF field value doesn't display XFDF value when no keyboard focus

Question

I created a simple PDF (test.pdf) file (one text field), and saved it as a "static PDF". I created a XFDF file, and when I double-click on the XFDF file, the sample PDF opens and the field is populated.
Here's the problem: I save test.pdf as a "dynamic pdf" file. I double-click on the xfdf file and the pdf opens up, but the data is not displayed in the field. If you click on the field, the text appears. If you click out of the field, it disappears. If you update the field value, and navigate away, the value stays.
There is nothing but the field on the page, no scripts, no subforms, nothing.
Is this a bug in Adobe Reader 7.0? or is there some weird setting in Live Cycle Designer that I'm missing?
Thanks

What is your xfdf file look like? Something like:<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br />     <xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"><br />          <f href="file:///C|/test3.pdf" /><br />     <fields><br />          <field name="firstName"><br />               <value>William</value><br />          </field><br />          <field name="lastName"><br />               <value>White</value><br />          </field><br />     </fields><br /></xfdf>
