Hey jmalaska,
I just checked the bug report and the issue is still marked as unresolved. I am looking at the UE4 Roadmap trello board, and did not see where this was mentioned as fixed?
We did add support for the alembic importer so be sure you are exporting from Maya using the correct alembic import/export workflow. I am sure if you search google or youtube you can find tutorials and information on how to go about doing this as well.
Thank you,
