It's not a bug in the API, because it can place markers with 12 decimal places. Without seeing your page and being able to debug it, it's not really possible to say what's going wrong with your code or your data. However, since 6dp is an accuracy of inches -- greater than the accuracy of the map in most cases -- 8dp is overkill. If six works, just truncate your numbers.
