Here's a version of the patch that uses _rescale instead of quantize. I don't know enough about how contexts are used to know whether someone might want to know that ceil(Decimal("1e30")) gave a result with more precision than the input. On the other hand, the error .quantize() throws is clearly the wrong one, so this is at least an improvement.
