-why- is this a problem though?

Sure it is a bug, but why were you testing for it? To me, it sounds a
little like the Excel bug that appeared a few months back, here some
forumulas resulting in 65,535 would appear as 100,000.

Yes it is a bug, but it only happens in 12 out of
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 possible floating point binary numbers. So
really it isn't as sever are you would think.
