As you found, these won't work on the raw (archive) data.

The example template I mentioned already uses since.py to format the
rain value as ...
$since($hour=9).rain.sum (Australian reporting times)
According to the weewx manual at
http://www.weewx.com/docs.html/latest/customizing.htm#Formatting_examples
A format method to use for your example could be...
$since($hour=9).rain.sum.format("%.3f")
I just tested that method and it works. Apparently we've had 7.429 mm of rain!
