I think this is the desired behavior of that dialog. It's explained in the
Embedded Objects manual (look under "Help"). The "maintain aspect ratio"
option is only available when you set both dimensions, and then the
dimension settings are interpreted as the maximum dimensions not to exceed.
If you set only one, the other is set automatically, and the aspect ratio
setting is on automatically. The one thing that I think is not working
correctly is that the aspect ratio option is grayed out but does not appear
to be checked, even though it's on.

When I try your settings (set only one dimension to 50% of the page width,
leave the other unset) I get the correct behavior. Can you create a minimal
working example of an image that comes out distorted when you set only one
dimension?
