I still think there is something screwy here. The lacrosse 23xx driver uses 
0.518mm per bucket tip. weewx uses 25.4mm per inch so that is 0.0203937 inches 
per tip. So in your database you will see multiples of this value in the rain 
field (assuming you are using US customary units in your database). So if there 
were 2 tips in an archive period you should see 0.0407874 which is 
significantly different to the 0.04051811 number you have. That will certainly 
lead to discrepancies over a period of time. The irony of it is consider the 
month that had 0.32 inches. There was 16 bucket tips that month. if you take 16 
bucket tips x 0.0203937 inches per tip you get 0.32629921 inches which is 
correctly rounded to 0.33 inches.
16 decimal places may be stored in the database but anything after 5 or 6 
places will have no affect on anything weewx displays unless you are looking at 
a period that has 1000s of tips.

Changing the formatting may give an acceptable result in this case but the 
issue will reappear at sometime while the above discrepancy remains.
