That was the first thing I tried when Bill posted the example scene.
It's easy to do, just reduce all those numbers by a factor of 1000 or
100000. But the result stays exactly the same in this case.

It look's like it's not the absolute size of the values that causes the
effect in this particular case, but the loss of precision.
