Right, thats exactly the problem we have with the our printf and imagemagick: we always print the next greater representable double, which in case of 1.0e0 and %.20g is ~1.000000000000000222. Surely, it would be smarter to only do this for "critical" numbers like ~0.354999, for which we ASSUME that actually 0.355 is meant, but how would you do that? There are no means to distinguish between 0.355 and ~0.354999 because they both are represented by the same floating-point number.
