In Emacs Calc, when I try to convert between incompatible units, Calc refuses to convert, which is totally correct behaviour. However, in some cases it changes the value of the quantity, which isn't in my opinion: Current value on stack: "1". Then "calc-convert-units", Old units: 1, new units: cm^2. The new value on the stack is "100" but I expect "1". This is problematic when you mis-typed the new unit and try it again with the correct one. Then you get indeed the correct target unit but (if metric prefixes and at least ^2 is involved) with the wrong value.
