I don't think I understand the problem. The code checks that the
dynamic initialization values are equal to the current value of the
GUC, or 0. Why would a "margin for error" of 1e-6 be of any use?
Why was the margin of 1e-6 chosen instead of one based on the exponent
of the GUC's current value (if any)?

In my view, this would break the code, not fix it, as it would
decrease the cases where we detect broken GUC registrations.

Kind regards,
