Great question, @FMELizard!
With the assistance of our development team, I think we have identified the reason:
If the source dataset has embedded rasters when doing an A -> A translation we can't embed them so they will be written out as separate files and referenced.
The rasters will always be read as there is no specific option to enable/disable them. If the Reader is set to Group Entities By Geometry, it will be possible to disable the Raster feature type. An easier way might be to filter out features with an 'autocad_entity' value of 'autocad_raster' – or filter by geometry to remove features with IFMERaster geometry.
