Converting that to meters is not possible without taking the latitude into 
account (which is what pywikibot correctly does). Which means, the same 
precision value (stored in degrees and displayed in meters) will be displayed 
different on different locations. The precision will even "magically change" 
when you edit the latitude, but not the precision.

Our GeoCoordinateValue is defined with a precision in degrees, not meters. We 
may discuss this decision, if necessary. But as long as it's degrees, I think 
it's better to display degrees and not do possibly confusing conversions.

I suggest to close this as wontfix.
