No. It's not a problem with an old breqn.
This problem with breaking fractions is also the main problem
for the book. But if you think about it... how would you design an
algorithm that breaks
\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d}
correctly if one or several of the a, b, c, d expressions are long
expressions. What looks better? breaking at the + or breaking inside frac?
Admittedly, just one \frac{a}{b} on the top-level is a special case and
I would be happy if breqn.sty could handle this. I think I even wrote a
mail to all three of the maintainers and didn't get a reply. :-(
That texbreak can handle this looks nice, but I'm still not in favour of
texbreak. If only I could reliably say that "\frac is toplevel and the
expression is too long", it would perhaps be passible to program a
workaround for this case. But it needs a bit of TeX-knowledge to get the
length of the line between the numerator and denominator correct. Easier
would be to transform it into
(a)/(b)

Actually, the link that is produced on the wiki is somewhat useless,
since it simply points to itself.
But anyway, you'd proably just have to extract the number from
\begin{fricasmath}{n}
instead of
\eqno(n)
And maybe you'd have to redefine what fricasmath does with the n. It
probably shouldn't produce the number into the .png file.
