Please note this is still an issue with the latest pywikibot code and current wikidata release - as of June 23, 2016. The following is the fix I have in the pywikibot core pywikibot/__init__.py file:

instead of

format(value, "+g")

we need:

if math.fabs(value) < 0.001:
    num_str = float_fix.convert_sc_to_str(float(value))
    if value >= 0:
        num_str = '+{0}'.format(num_str)
else:
    num_str = format(value, "+g")
    return num_str
