suspect parts can be built without any dimensions and/or constraints and the
assembly constraints will work just fine. You problably have something wrong
in your assembly constraints or adaptivity between parts. I'll bet the problem
could be reduced to a handful of parts (probably just two) within the
assembly.
I am also having a similar problem with an assembly I have. Parts that are not grounded or fully constrained act as though they are grounded and will not move. I have tried deleting one of the faulty parts and then re-contraining it and I still have the same problem, so I don't think this is the issue.
Check for "Sick" constraints in your IAM file. To the right of your Joints and Constraints icons are three icons, if the middle one (highlighted in yellow) is not grey'd out, you have sick constraints.
Software has changed considerable from 2008, also make sure you are current on all SP's and hot-fixes for your product.
I have noticed that flexible sub-assemblies can cause this when placed into larger assemblies. Not all the time, but have had it happen and when I turn flexible off the parts behave as expected.
