It seems to be a heuristic for distinguishing units from variables, both of which unfortunately have the same representation in Calc. We could make it more precise by looking in the unit table (and allow for prefixes), but it would mean that a variable 'm' would always look like a unit. I'm afraid I have no other good solution at hand.

For that matter, shouldn't units use \mathrm{} rather than \text{} ?
