One of my patches must've fixed this already:

Probably need to be included in a unit test, though, if it isn't covered already.

I fixed the particular bug in question at the PyCon sprints, so it's trunk with corresponding unit tests from test_float.py. I'm currently reviewing other bugs in test_float and will look at the patches Santoso submitted to see if those can help - sorry I was not aware you had patches for the problem at hand.

I have a bunch of patches applied to my mercurial branch and somehow this behavior is fixed there. Haven't had the time to narrow down which actually fixed this, but I suspect it had something to do with this patch of mine: http://bugs.jython.org/issue2013
