Because weightmapping didn't exist in Poser until P9/PP2012, so P1 - P8 can't read/recognize coding/features it wasn't designed to read/recognize.

She may load, but anything in her setup that relies on features not available prior to P9 won't work. 

I can't answer the deal about PMD, someone else might.

Yeah I get that it won't use the weight mapping, but that doesn't seem to stop Dawn from loading in P6.  I got that far, arms bend okay, legs bend, etc.  She doesn't "break" til I try to load the morphs which I guessing are weight mapped so perhaps that's the problem.  I'm not really sure, nor sure why they required PMDs.  Just seemed odd and of course annoying.
