The pi example gave me a clue.

3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862q
sin exponent -61
-1.0q arcCos sin exponent
-64

What, I lost three bits?
Hmm fairly sure about my 256bits approximation of pi though...

-1.0q arcCos
3.1415926535897932385
3.1415926535897932385q
3.1415926535897932383
3.1415926535897932385q sin exponent
-63

Yes, there might be a problem for reading these extended precision.
