HyperCard distinguished between "#" and "0" and produced different

Confirmed - running this script in v9dp6 and again all the way back in
v6.0:
on mouseUp
set the numberformat to "###.###"
put 2.5 + 2.5 into x
set the numberformat to "000.000"
put 2.5 + 2.5 into y
put x &cr& y
end mouseUp
...I get:
005.000
005.000
Where I would have expected:
5.0
005.000
Who wants to file the bug report?
The fact that the dictionary also doesn't discriminate implies it isn't
a bug, it's intentional, and the hash/zero options are for HC
compatibility only. I can't remember if MC worked as I would have expected.
