I don't think G64 was ever intended to override arc end position
tolerances, but we ascertained that

"G64 - without P means to keep the best speed possible, no matter how
far away from the programmed point you end up." 

simply doesn't work anyway.

For arcs the manual says

"When programming arcs an error due to rounding can result from using a
precision of less than 4 decimal places (0.0000) for inch and less than
3 decimal places (0.000) for millimetres."

A better approach to that would have been a user definable precision
somewhere in the ini file. 

If your machine doesn't have the resolution to do three or four decimal
places it's a bit unreasonable to have to program them.
