In my experience, it always converts not to...
	a/b + c + d

but to...
	a/(b + c + d)

which is not wrong.  If you're seeing different behavior, you should 
submit it as a bug report.

You can restore the fraction (assuming it is still properly represented 
as a division) by selecting the subexpression representing the fraction 
and doing Evaluation->Convert To->StandardForm.  You could also select 
the entire cell and do this, but the conversion operation is kind of a 
big hammer to apply, and it may do other things to your expression you 
wish it wouldn't.
