Well, it's working as intended in the sense that there is no code to
support retrieving a real precision value -- it is indeed a hardcoded
placeholder value. I'm not sure why '9' off the top of my head, perhaps
making that column NULL would be better? What are the units of this
value anyway?

If you're willing to do the implementation work to improve this, then
post a patch to pgsql-jdbc and I can look at applying it.
