It looks like the @printf macro is broken — it seems to be converting values to Float64 before printing (reported on discourse):
@printf
Float64

@jmkuhn, has @printf bitrotted? I thought it used to be working (after #48).
Yes, this worked correctly through Julia 1.5.x. It broke in Julia 1.6.0 with https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/32859.
