Also with these corner case spreadsheet issues - many times they are closed as WONTFIX or NOTABUG because developers determine that it's just the nature of how integers work in computers. There will always be some inaccuracy (Excel has similar issues) and developers have to determine if the particular corner case is going to be resolved and thus possibly screw up other users. Similar issues have been reported and Kohei wrote a great description of the issue.
So I would not go as far as saying "mathetmatical calculations" don't matter - what I would say is it's incredibly hard to explain these limitations to regular users who aren't aware of how code works. So - usually what I do for these particular kinds of issues is I jump into the developer chat and I ask a developer if it's actually a bug - if they say "no it's a limitation of computer based calculations" then I close as NOTABUG and try to explain....usually that fails, users are annoyed and aren't able to understand that there are in fact real limitations as to what a spreadsheet document is capable of.
