Confirmed that this bug exists. It seems to be an error in how the
trailing zero removal logic works in certain cases, but I didn't
figure out the pattern immediately except that it seems to be
associated with large-magnitude numbers like yours. I'll run some
better tests in a little bit.

Yes, this assumes our headers which define it as an unadorned decimal
constant. Do you have any ideas for a clean way to avoid this
assumption without having to compute the value at runtime?
