No. What goes on the screen is in Megabytes calculated from exact
sector numbers. Since you need 4 decimal places to show a sector
precisely, the last digit gets rounded.
OTOH, this is confusing to users.
Should we add another decimal place?
(BTW, with Parted commands, you can give as many decimal places as
you like!)
