Confirmed - running this script in v9dp6 and again all the way back in 
v6.0:

on mouseUp
    set the numberformat to "###.###"
    put 2.5 + 2.5 into x
    set the numberformat to "000.000"
    put 2.5 + 2.5 into y
    put x &cr& y
end mouseUp

...I get:

005.000
005.000

Where I would have expected:

5.0
005.000

Who wants to file the bug report?
