It should tex as \left(5.6\times 10^{99}\right)^{x} not as
(as you suggest) {5.6\times 10^99}^{x}. I provided
the work around instead of a fix because (1) it seems that
a good fix isn't easy, and (2) I thought the work around might
be good enough for you to finish the task you are doing.
Thanks for filing the bug report.

Yet, your fix still can't produce the format: $${5.6\times 10^99}^{x}$$,
