I just got it and opened it up. In alt mode, the front wheel assembly is on a hinge that allows the wheel to swing out and up, in front of the bike to the point that it actually touches the windscreen. It's obviously part of the transformation, but there's nothing to hold it in place under the bike where it belongs in alt mode. It doesn't seem to snap into place or anything, it just swings freely. Is that how it's supposed to be? It doesn't appear that anything's broken, but it still seems odd, like something that shouldn't happen.

Yeah, it's like that. If yours doesn't stay in place, you probably have a loose joint. Mine stays in place just fine...

Mine has the same issue it doesn't really interfere with the vehicle mode. Still an annoying oversight on quality control :-(

though...

I don't think it's a QC issue. It seems to be a design issue. There's nothing to hold the wheel in place except the tightness of the joint.

Yes, it's similar to the RTS Jazz mold's chest in robot mode. It just doesn't latch in anywhere you just have to move it into place and hope nothing moves it back out of place.
