The purpose is to avoid numerical errors in the polygon code.  The
polygon (un)subtract does not work very well with "exactly touching"
points and "exactly overlapping" lines such as you are likely to
produce using no bloat.  The exact value should not be critical.

As for the other problem, I agree with your assessment that the bounding
box is probably wrong, which likely has other bad consequences.
