I don't think 3DS Max is using any kind of special format. It just has no problem with duplicate vertices. It's very Granny friendly  |
I think I know what is happening: Wings3d welds automatically redundant vertices within the same geometry (as it is the case of the Max-exported balloon). On the contrary, it keeps coinciding vertices, if they are located in different geometries combined together (as for S3d/GR2E obj files).
If you are familiar with Wings you know what I mean

As far as I can see it all depends on the complexity of the UV mapping. If you set few UV zones, or if the texture one is using is relatively uniform, you won't ever spot the mistakes, if any.
