Ok, now I understand.  For example in Writer open format > page.
type 8.1234 in the width, then click in the height box.  The width
changes to 8.12"

I think the reason for this is because 1/100th of an inch is accurate
 enough for placing text on a page.  And I think most printers
mechanical feeding systems aren't anywhere close to that accurate.  I
look at it this way.  I don't think I'll really care if 0.125 gets
rounded to 0.13, because it is only off by at most 1/200th of an
inch.  When my measurement is accurate to 1/8th or 1/16th of an inch.

It's not the 10 thou that's the problem; it's the cumulative effect in,
for example, a 13 row table of equally sized rows. Registration of the bottom row is significantly displaced and does not enhance a set of labels!

Very good. I agree. I have added your example as comment, and voted for issue 45593
