Chris,
Ok, I checked the file, and I talked to R&D... I will post this same message also in your other post.
So, there are two issues here that I will note separately...
1. Turning square pads into circular pads "during" routing is a cosmetic issue only, it is fixed in our internal build and is on hold to be verified on our next update or release (you can reference this report with us in the future with ID 105795). Once you finish routing, the pad shape returns to the original square. Internally, the autorouter never changes the shape for the pad, is only the graphics engine that is drawing the shape for you to see it on screen while is routing.
2. DRC errors when finished. This is independent from the shape problem you see, and has to do with the autorouter itself overriding clearances when routing in some places. R&D is actively working to improve the autorouter and avoid this, currently you need to manually move the trace where a DRC error shows up after routing.
This is the status update on these issues...
