Avoiding errors with Arrange in Manufacturing Models

I have noticed a few errors lately using Arrange in Manufacturing Models.
An example was the parts below. These parts were created from a single combined sketch that did the U shape.
I then used a sketch line as a splitting tool to split them creating the dovetails. The "notches" were created using profiles from another sketch and extrude/cut operations.
When trying to Arrange these in my Manufacturing Model along with many other parts ( single bodies within it's own component ) the part on the right would not Arrange citing a "could not get a planner face...."
I really can't fathom why??
I tried doing a Copy/Paste New of the right hand component, still wouldn't work.
In the end I deleted hid the component as I couldn't delete it as it's used downstream in the model. The created a plane to trim off the dovetail end plus about 50mm. Then offset the end face so it intersected with the left hand component, then did a Combine/Cut to create the new end complete with the dovetail end. Then I could use the Arrange command successfully.
Anyone else seen such behaviour or has discovered ways to avoid it?
