>>Not a bug, just the nature of floating point arithmetic.

Hmmm, I would not say so.
Approximation errors are frequent in all programming languages on all 
computers WHEN there are approximations made.
In this occurrence, all numbers should be converted exactly to intenal 
floating values, the result should be exact as well,
then the transcription to a string should again show no approximation error.

On could get such errors in an expression like SIN(0) for instance, 
because a trigonometric functions are obtained
through a serie calculation, but not with just sums of 3 or for digit 
real values.
