This is well known.

What is happening is that the space-separated words are evaluated by Pd's 
parser and anything that is a number, whether in a comment or object is 
evaluated as a number, so the trailing 0 is dropped as 0.50 == 0.5.

There is no other workaround other than forcing the number into a string such 
as "v0.50" etc.

What is required is selective evaluation within the parser, ie. don't parse 
numbers for things like a "comment" when reading files.
