It has always been this way.

Workarounds:

None that I am aware of, except show it as text then convert it back with text2num/num2text
This is not a bug. You need to convert the number to text using num2text(N,S) where N is the number to convert, and S is the number of significant digits. BYOND defaults numbers automatically converted to text as 6 significant digits. It's a safe assumption to use an arbitrary number like 99 for the significant digits parameter.
