Comment (by vdelecroix):

 Why should it be accurate? The documentation of the method `real_number`
 is
 {{{
 Given a ``RealField``, compute a good approximation to self in
 that field. The approximation will be off by at most two
 ulp's, except for numbers which are very close to 0, which
 will have an absolute error at most
 ``2**(-(field.prec()-1))``. Also, the rounding mode of the
 field is respected.
 }}}
