I think it's a problem with keyboard shortcuts. What keyboard keys did you type for the multiplication symbol?

[mgreminger]

I used the asterisk key * to create the multiplication.

OK, I've narrowed down where I think the problem might be, but I can't trigger it by pressing the * key. I can only trigger it by pressing xx and it only reverts the denominator, not the numerator. Are you trying this with the smoke test? Do you have any additional configurations to the mathfield?
