This has been the case since 3.7.0.  POV-Ray 3.6 would read at least 9
digits, but was unreliable beyond 8 digits.

I brought this up during the release candidate phase of 3.7, but nothing
was done.  The fact that it was changed from unreliable greater
precision to reliable lower precision suggests that the change was
deliberate, but I'd need confirmation from the developers.
