I'd be willing to require eval(repr(x)) == x only for platforms whose float input routine is correctly rounding. That would make the current patch acceptable I believe -- but I believe you think there's a better way in that case too? What way is that? Also, I'd rather not lock out non-IEEE-754 platforms, but I'm OK with dropping the above roundtripping invariant there.
