I did a small lab for it and it worked jus fine with and without the
send-community on both ends... As long you receive the community you don't
need it configured in the receiving end to treat the communities from the
remote-end. I posted the same example you send us... It worked just fine for
me.

!
router bgp 254
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 1.1.1.254
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 bgp dampening
 neighbor 1.1.1.6 remote-as 3
 neighbor 1.1.1.6 route-map FROM-R6 in
 no auto-summary
!
ip bgp-community new-format
ip community-list 101 permit .*:5..
!
!
route-map FROM-R6 permit 10
 match community 101
 set local-preference 555
!
route-map FROM-R6 permit 20
!
end
!
BB#sh ip bgp 200.200.200.200
