After some experimenting, the statistics eggs seems to introduce some 
peculiarity. Here's a session:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
#;1> (* 1.0 5/2)

Warning: cannot represent exact fraction - coerced to flonum: "5/2"
2.5
#;2> (use statistics)
#;3> (* 1.0 5/2)

Error: (*) bad argument type: 5/2

        Call history:

        <syntax>          (* 1.0 5/2)
        <eval>    (* 1.0 5/2)   <--
#;3> (use numbers)
#;4> (* 1.0 5/2)
