I didn't reply before because this is the first time I've heard about
this from anyone, and I was hoping one of the Windows devs would pipe
in.

Unfortunately I have no suggestions for you, because as I said I've
never heard about it before.  It sounds like maybe you changed some
configuration on your system?  Or maybe you have a broken locale?
If the extra digits aren't causing issues then they could just be
garbage being displayed, but why they display for you I do not know.
Did you change /any/ default settings in GnuCash?
