The issue with a lot of these is that we need 10 or so digits of precision so that VAT and other taxes can be calculated and stored correctly. Bruce has spent a lot of time trying to get this right.
The downside is that it seems that sometimes Mysql (and maybe the other backends) have some issues with it. We've been squashing these bugs in places along the way. Your specific issue with paypal may be related to changeset [1922]. There may be another place where we need to explicitly force the truncating of decimals in the templates. The good news is that it's a simple fix and if you look at http://www.satchmoproject.com/trac/changeset/1922 it should be pretty simple to figure out other places in the paypal templates where we need to do something similar. Feel free to submit tickets with details of the problem (and patches if possible).
