"touch" operates by means of system calls. If the system calls
mishandle submicrosecond time stamps, "touch" will as well. So you'll
have to direct your bug reports to the kernel people who have
misdesigned their system calls.
The basic problem is that utimes() has only microsecond resolution;
the kernel need to add a system call ("utimens()", say?) that supports
nanosecond resolution.

Version: 2.6.8-99+rm
You reported a bug against the Linux kernel (version 2.6.8) that was
shipped with Debian 3.1 (sarge). Since Debian 3.1 is no longer
supported and the kernel has changed so much that it would be very
difficult to verify every outstanding bug from 2.6.8, I'm hereby
closing your bug report.
If you still see this issue with the kernel from the upcoming release
of Debian (lenny, version 5.0), then please me know and I'll be happy
to reopen this bug report.
Thanks.
