OK - Bryce now reads Material groups as well as the old Poly Groups. This is for Poser/D|S compatibility. If an .OBJ has both, which is very common, then Bryce 55 reads only the Material Group. Sounds like Wings works that way, To get back to the old way, run it through UVMapper, turn right around and export with the "UseMtl" option turned off. This will leave you with just the poly groups. I hope the choice of which one you want to use will be a dialogue option in B6 :-)
