There isn't, but I agree there should be an option to set/override the precision of x/y/z values (independently)  I have rewritten lasinfo and las2las using the new C++ API, and I think las2txt should also be rewritten as well.  In summary output and other venues in those rewritten utilities, I have tried to respect the specified scale/precision of the dimension if it was set in the header.  

Rewriting las2txt similarly to lasinfo and las2las is in my queue, but I probably won't get to it for a bit.

PS, this question should be asked on the list, and I have forwarded it there.
