No need for fantasy, so nothing to share.

I thought I was providing a simple report of a display bug in a
beta release product with sufficient evidence to prove there is
a problem and nothing more. I am trusting such bug reports are
welcome on this list. Otherwise please let me know where I
should be posting.

While I'm not sure how additional information would be helpful,
since no additional information changes the discrepancy between
the data type and its display, I am answering the questions:

The pgAdmin 4 screen shot snippet showed the "amount" column as
"numeric(12,3)" and the tabulated data below this header has
only two decimal places.
The pgAdmin 4 query:
SELECT * FROM accounts.transactions
WHERE transaction_ref=1506
ORDER BY transaction_ref,transaction_line

The psql screen shot snippet showed the underlying data does
have some non-zero digits in the third decimal place. ANd psql
displays the data to thee decimal places as per data type definition.
The psql query:
SELECT * FROM accounts.transactions WHERE transaction_ref=1506;

The table definition:
CREATE TABLE accounts.transactions
(
tax_code character(1) COLLATE "default".pg_catalog NOT NULL,
transaction_ref integer NOT NULL,
transaction_line integer NOT NULL,
account_item char_short_key COLLATE
