that would be a current limitation due to ZCB. we have an offline cache of server data on BES to minimize load on ZCS because after the initial sync, only deltas are synced to BES. the unfortunate side effect of this is that the BES meta data will stay local to that box and is not synced to ZCS because we only sync with supported data types as defined by the server. there is a bug open to sync "other" types as blobs and we could use this mechanism to sync BES metadata in the future.
BES against Exchange will work using an online profile so all the data (including BES metadata) will reside on the server...so when you recreate the profile on the new machine, all the data will be available on the new machine. the side effect of this is that there is more load on the server because you, potentially, hit the server for every mailbox related request for all users in BES instead of a local cache.
