I've opened up an enhancement ticket here: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7682 I also noticed that the introduction of all these numbers occurred at the pynac switch. In http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/4572, we see a patch which made the old symbolic system not print so many zeros, with the comment "In addition, this has the benefit of removing the trailing zeros in calculus expressions involving real numbers (as they didn't really contain any information)."
