Some additional information:

My original report was with an x86 system.

Now, I'm sitting in front of an x86_64 system running Python 2.4.4 (from
Debian stable) and Python 2.5.2 (from Debian testing), both 64 bit
userland. On these systems, the behavior I described does not exist:
Assignment always appears to result in an IEEE754 double-precision float.
