Bug with coupled inductors in Multisim Live?

I think there is a bug in Multisim Live (Premium Tier) when using mutually coupled inductors.  It seems that it gets the current wrong if you try to measure the current in any of the modes connected directly to the inductors.  My guess is the mutual coupling block rewrites the circuit file to include a dependent source to account for the additional coupled term and the probes are only measuring the current through one of the branches but I haven't dug in enough to be sure.  Below is a problem I assigned in a course I am teaching; I did an AC sweep to find the current and angle at 60Hz.  PR1 gives the correct result (1.3 ∠-23°A), but PR2, which should obviously be exactly the same, does not.  I have not tried to recreate it in the desktop version.  Here is a link to the simulation - maybe there's something I'm missing.
