Chris,

It is supposed to work that way. I just took an image 756x572 and did

convert zelda_sub.png -resize 100^ zeldatmp.png

and got back an image of size 132x100. So it did take the smaller of 
the two sizes and scale that to 100 and the larger was scaled in 
proportion to 132.

Perhaps there is a bug with very large or very asymmetric sizes.

The other issue is that this is a relatively recent addition to IM. 
It was added in IM 6.3.8-2. What version of IM are you using?
