Disappearing iMates!

I have an iAssembly with 4 sets of composite iMates. When I insert the iAssembly into another assembly, I can see the iMates when I select it. However, when I place a new part in my assembly with a matching iMate, it does not find the matching iMate. When I try to manually ALT+drag the part to attach it to the iMate, it is not visible even when I turn on iMate gylph visibility. What could cause this problem?
