Thanks Frank...  Its good to have confirmation that I'm not going crazy.
I'm surprised I haven't found that before.

I put it into bugzilla...

Ned, 

I think you are right, and that this rounding bug has
likely always been present.   If you file a bug in the
MITAB bugzilla Daniel or I should be able to patch it. 

In my experience this sort of asynmmetric rounding error is quite common in
geospatial software.  I normally use the floor() approach to when resolving
it. 

Best regards,
