I've encountered a problem that I've been fiddling with for the past half hour or so trying to fix. The first thing I did was input my primary character, an eladrin swordmage, into the software. Apart from the bonuses from the character background options not appearing or even being recorded anywhere I could see, everything matches up quite nicely--except for the damage I deal with my longsword. It seems the character builder is automatically assuming that a weapon with the versatile property will be wielded two-handed in calculating the damage dealt, if there is nothing else equipped in the off-hand. However, for a swordmage, using the weapon two-handed would reuce the bonus to AC granted by Swordmage Warding. If there's a way to select whether the weapon is to be used with one or two hands, I can't find it, and as it stands, either the calculations for damage or the calculations for AC are incorrect--unless, of course, I've been misunderstanding the rules related to the warding and what can be in your hand. I tried clicking the report a bug button, also, but the page that pops up doesn't seem to work in Firefox. Overall it's a fairly minor concern, since that's a pretty specifically situational detail, but I can't see any way to fix the calculations within the beta software currently so that they match what they should be for that specific character.
