I intended to test this, but haven't found the time.
It seems extremely likely that the tool table units will be assumed to
match the machine units. There is no field in the data to indicate the
units.

Any manual editing of the tool table would have to be in base machine units.

The more interesting question is what happens if using the various
versions of G10. I would actually expect that to do the conversions
based on the current G-code units.
Is that not what was observed?
