In Cubase 5, if a MIDI file was dragged from Media Bay into the project it would rename the track. I used to have to drag the parts from Media Bay onto spare MIDI tracks (which would get their names changed) and then move them onto the destination track(s).
I have just tried a few things. If you export as a type 0 and drag into the project the track name does not change, but the articulations go onto a new part on a new track called SystExData and so as text events in thr list editor.
The type 1 MIDI file, when dragged in, changes the track name, but keeps the articulations.
