Must be something wrong with your installation - or your table definition.
In my case:

testing=> create table test ( col1 float8 );
CREATE
testing=> insert into test values ( 0.3 );
INSERT 758126 1
testing=> insert into test values ( 0.000003 );
INSERT 758127 1
testing=> insert into test values ( 0 );
INSERT 758128 1
testing=> insert into test values ( 0.0 );
INSERT 758129 1
testing=> insert into test values ( 0.000000 );
INSERT 758130 1
testing=> select * from test;
col1
