David Nicolson added the comment:
It looks like it's just inconsistency in plutil that is causing the confusion.
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print test.plist
Dict {
FloatExample2 = 0.10
FloatExample3 = 100.00
FloatExample = 0.00
}
cat test.plist | plutil -convert
New submission from David Nicolson :
Converting float values stored as strings with the real data type can result in
an integer value or a rounding error.
