For what it's worth: My Sunblade 100 running Solaris 9 has Solaris' /bin/printf and GNU's printf as /usr/local/bin/printf and both give "0.12", not "0.13". I am quite sure it is the printf returning "0.13" that is buggy. Note that the value "0.125" can be represented exactly with IEEE double precision arithmetic, so inexact representation is not the matter here.
