The Save As dialog appears to work 100% as expected if Window Explorer shows the file extensions. Follow SleggTheSockpuppet's steps and you're OK.
Another trick that seems to work is to type the file extension in the Save As dialog (ie. 'the mix.mp3' instead of just 'the mix').

MP3 encoding
From http://multitrackstudio.com/feature.php
MP3 files
MP3 files use a lossy compression algorithm that degrades sound quality. The resulting file size is 3..9% of the original size. This makes MP3 the format of choice if you want to publish your songs on the internet, or if you want to send them via email.
An ACM Codec is needed to encode/decode MP3 files. Its presence can be determined by opening an MP3 file. The Professional/Pro Plus edition will open the file if a codec is present. The Lite edition will show a window indicating whether a codec is present or not.
Every time a new MP3 file is created the audio quality can be chosen (Medium, High or Very High). High and Very High quality files use the full samplerate (44.1 or 48 kHz), Medium quality files will use half the samplerate (22.05 or 24 kHz). The MP3 codec installed on your system may not be able to create full samplerate MP3 files. The one that comes with Windows usually does not support creating high quality files.
Note that MP3 is not the format of choice for multitrack recording: not only does sound quality suffer, the MP3 encoding/decoding process consumes a lot of processing power as well.
------------------------
This means that the MP3 processing is done by an ACM codec installed or added to the operating system. There might be other downloadable replacement ACM codecs out there though that support higher rates.
However, it's probably just easier to download a freeware MP3 encoder such as LAME or BLADE or whatever you fancy and use that instead.
