I have never had problems regarding EVPUs which I have used since version 2.1. I seem to recall that the defaults changed, so you have to change preferences.
The main global selection is not in Preferences per se: it is in the Finale 2012 menu. Right below Preferences is Measurement Units where you select EVPUs. And don't forget to Save Preferences (bottom of the File menu) after you've done this.
