Quite differently ... in 7.2 and later:

regression=# create table test2(foo numeric);
CREATE
regression=# insert into test2 values (10.00000000000000000000001);
INSERT 148451 1
regression=# insert into test2 values (10.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001);
INSERT 148452 1
regression=# select * from test2;
foo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.00000000000000000000001
10.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
(2 rows)

regression=#
