I stumbled upon the same problem this week.
We are looking into the capabilities of FME to read dynamic properties within blocks and even read blocks within blocks but haven't found a solution so far. We even noticed that if you have a dynamic block FME doesn't store the original block name but the temporary block name that is generated by Autodesk Autocad when opening a dwg file with dynamic blocks. To provide interoperability this is a nightmare :)
We would love to see this in future releases because it would be an addition to our BIM Use implementation (Drawing Review) in our drawing offices.
As far as I know, we support reading dynamic blocks, but not writing. If there's a problem reading them I'd suggest getting in touch with the support team (http://safe.com/support). If you need to write them, also contact support and ask them to add you to PR#15958

Thanks for your reply Mark.
I managed to read all dynamic changes of our dynamic block library. Which is great!
It would be very interesting if we could reverse engineer that in the future.

That PR (writing dynamic blocks) is still open so it's not yet implemented. It doesn't seem to have a definite target either. Reading should be OK though.
