Why is it inapproptiate to give decimal-point metronome marks which will
be ignored, but perfectly appropriate to state Q=80 and see it equally
ignored? (Although I'm not necessarily stating that this is the reason
Ferneyhough uses these metronome markings.)

It looks exactly the same but what it looks like is a 'transposition'

note triplet. In 6/6 the tuplet bracket would still be applied.
Either way this kind of rhythm will entail explication. The
