I just upgraded to 2013, and the first thing I wanted to test was the bend note controls. I love having more control over bend notes, finally, however I'm experiencing some issues. If I open up an older drawing, bend notes are displayed according to the document's units settings, as they should. If I change the units settings on the older drawing, or create a new drawing, the bend notes default to 2 decimal places and I can't get them to change. The radius will change between decimals and fractions, but it will only show two decimal places regardless of what I have set under the units property. The angle will show 2 decimal places as well, and I can't get that to change either.

Anyone else experiencing this? I've poked around to see if they have their own units control, but I haven't noticed anything yet...

I've not been able to upgrade yet, so cannot test.
Did you update the File Locations to point to the correct templates?
 
The file location for the bend notes is the same as what it was before. Regardless, that file does not contain anything about units, only what gets displayed in the notes. The units have always been controlled by the document properties.
