Well, i'll try not to pique what isn't your forte. The only problem i have with humans evolving from frugivores to omnivores is that it is a form of adaptation and not evolution. You see (from what i remember from Biology), Darwin's theory is that of evolution and it was Lamarck's theory that said we adapted to or surrounding environment, however, he was later proved wrong. So, maybe we were always omnivores but didn't realize it until after we dropped down from the trees. But then again, that would defeat the fact that, if we were naturally omnivores, we would naturally eat all foods and not just fruits.
