Brion, you can ?action-purge or go to edit mode and hit “Show preview” to work around cacheing. Doing so demonstrates that about 20% of the time, the request is processed by a server that has some sort of setting that is different from the others.
In the final analysis, no real “math” is performed on these significands; all that is happening is delimiters (either a comma or a <span> gap) are being applied every three characters until there is only two, three, or four characters left. I am still rather surprised that there aren’t some simple, bug-free string functions that could tackle this task. This would allow significands of unlimited length.
