I've had the same problem when working with tables and ocaml
Yes, it is a rare case indeed. It's not necessary nor appropiate to
change Babel's behavior.
Long story short, I'm building several LaTeX tables from CSV files
which in turn come from Excel files. I'm not the author of these Excel
files and I have to reproduce them as faithful as possible.

Since this case may be rare, what about inserting a non breaking
zero-width space right before 3.350?

Hello again, I'm sorry for being noisy.
OK yes, `org-babel-read' is indeed converting "number strings" to
numbers.
Basically this is what happens:
: (string-to-number "3.350") => 3.35
To leave cell values unchanged I did this clumsy hack:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

Probably the issue is related to this function in `ob-core.el'?
org-babel-read: "Convert the string value of CELL to a number if
appropriate."
Behind the curtains lies the built-in function `string-to-number'.
Maybe that conversion should be made optional to leave the strings
untouched.

Hello. I'm trying to get an Org table from an R data frame but data is
lost in the process.
Here is a MWE. Note that:
- In R every value is a string. "var2" contains no numbers (is a
character vector).
- Upon conversion to a table Org removes the zero from "var2" last
value.
