Threw an error from 11 to Mubox. Figure is Nova with 2 levels subdivision. Might be a Mudbox thing though, honestly I don't think I've ever morphed in Mudbox without using the PML exporter. I've been using it so long that my memory is vague on that. I'll have to test that particular with a regular FBM without PML exporter. In any case I'll test via Blender 2.92 and report back. Here's the test morph imported into Poser from Mudbox as a prop. Here's the Python Error message.

That looks like Mudbox might be removing isolated vertices. If I'm right, the second (larger) number in the error message should be the vertex count of the mesh exported from Poser, and the first (smaller) one should be what comes out of Mudbox. Also, both meshes should have the same number of polygons.

The requirement that the isolated vertices must be preserved is a relic from my original command line script. Within Poser I can easily add code that fixes the numbering for that specific case. Unless you're very eager to get the Mudbox test working, I might defer that until after I've finished the post-transform option (i.e. probably tomorrow).

I do have one question however, you didn't mention whether 'Include Existing Groups in Polygon Groups' was requirement during initial export. In this instance all I checked was 'as Morph Target' as you stated in your instructions...

No, that's not a requirement, unless you want access to the group info in your modeler. My script doesn't use the groups.
