Follow-up Comment #2:

Octave inherits its output behavior from the C++ standard libraries.  In this
case, C++ does not round when the last digit is exactly 5.  I'm attaching a
short program, tst_prec.cpp which demonstrates this behavior.  


g++ tst_prec.cpp
./a.out


This is not something that we can fix in Octave.
