Common Lisp allows four float types -- short, single, double, and long. These might or might not coincide. Maxima generally prefers doubles but if there were other types in some formulas, the user might see some non- double result -- I'm guessing that's the case here. Maxima also has a variable-precision software float called a bigfloat, which is not a CL type.
