I sort of solved the problem. Turns out it's another 3.01 bug.

The table and formula had been created in column 1 of a three-column
frame. I opened a new, blank document and inserted the table and
formula in the blank page (not in a frame). This time the number
appeared correctly. 

I copied and pasted the correct table and formula to the frame and it
stayed the same. Checking all the dozens of options for the correct
table and formula against the one where the number insisted on being
vertically centered revealed absolutely no differences. All the
settings are identical. Yet the one created within the frame is bad.
And I recreated the formula numerous times within the frame and each
time the number stubbornly insisted on being vertically centered.

I swear, 3.01 is a seriously buggy mess. This is not the first problem
like this that I have had. No wonder Ubuntu decided not to include it
in the dist upgrade to Intrepid.

Thanks for the assistance.
