No, it just means that on your particular example, the Size was
somewhere in the range [12 GiB, 13 GiB) and was also in the range [12
GB, 13 GB); so in both cases the value was printed "12G".  Hence the
size was somewhere in the range [12 GiB, 13 GB), i.e. it was at least
12,884,901,888 bytes and was less than 13,000,000,000 bytes.

This didn't happen for Used and Avail, so they printed differently.

If this happens in the future, you can see the exact size (in bytes)
with "df --block=1".
