The latest cvs code seems to have the default layer names disagree with

The layer name is just a string - it can be anything; you're drawing on 
the one called "component"
which sadly in the stackup is put on the solder side, while the one 
named "solder" is on the
component side.

Here's probably how you want to fix this:
Go to File->Preferences->Layers under the "setup" tab change the 
checkboxes so that Group 1 which contains the layer named "component" is 
on the component side and group 2 is on the solder side.
