Hi Nick,
Thanks for reporting this unexpected behaviour and for stimulating
some useful discussion. It seems that:
Default beaming for this case changed from 2.14.2 to 2.15.39.
A workaround has been provided to restore the previous behaviour.
Graham, as project manager, has confirmed this should not be classed as a
regression.
Phil Holmes has identified the change to beaming that is most likely
responsible.

which is titled "beaming in 3/4 - a setting to not beam 3 eights
against the beat" so it looks like the design is not clear.
There is an existing, open tracker for beaming in 3/4:

I'm creating a tracker so that someone can take up the task of
designing this feature.

Cheers,
Colin.
