Indeed - the test checks that values passed through
Xapian::sortable_unserialise(Xapian::sortable_serialise($x)) are unchanged,
but if Perl uses long double, they can get rounded as they are passed to
Xapian.

I've fixed the testcase upstream like so (but I haven't tested with 5.12.0-1
yet):

http://trac.xapian.org/changeset/14344

Since 5.12 is only in experimental currently, I think an upload can wait.
That way 1.0.19.0-1 can migrate to testing.

Cheers,
