Which IMHO is fully correct. You entered 1/2, this gets "corrected" to 1/2
because that's what it is (LO thinks you want to enter "a half" and then you
entered "/13".

(This fwiw can be disabled in the AutoCorrect options.) It also is not specific
to calc.

Then you maybe should enter it in the correct form... Entering
01/02/13 "works".
