They're not perfect. It's a very fiddly picky thing to worry about.
Here's a blog post with links to gcc bug reports:

Well, that's taking about decimal to binary conversion. That's different. I thought this thread was about what octave was displaying not how it was converting typed values to binary. I'll go back to the top and reread. Sorry if I was confused.
