Thank you for reporting this issue.

This is a false positive, due to the fact the there could be multiple
(valid) representation of 64bit double in hex-scientific format
(i.e. printf("%a")).

So it is safe to ignore this failure.

However,
I just pushed two commits that disable this test
(and fix another test).

Available here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/datamash.git/commit/?id=d446dba3
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/datamash.git/commit/?id=f4871963

And also attached as a patch to this message.
