Anyway, the offending braces come from file add.cpp, lines 163 and 214, just in case anybody wants to play around with them. But careful, I guess they were intentional and meant just for the purpose of not breaking lines. Please report to this list if you are absolutely sure that they should be removed.
There are some as well in `numeric.cpp' at lines 386 & 387, `mul.cpp' lines 184 & 231, `power.cpp' lines 185 & 201, and `pseries.cpp' lines 159 & 160. I just had a quick look so I may have missed something but I basically don't understand why they are there (no problem with \frac or other TeX operators it seems and I don't get the point about not breaking lines since formulae easily become quite long). Maybe the one who wrote that part of the code could tell us what was his reason? Regards, ChriS
