Comment(by jng):

 For all schemas in production (1.0.0 to 2.3.0) yes. This "defect" is set
 in stone and cannot realistically be fixed.

 Actually, the generated code returns double, but the interface that it
 implements (ISymbol) properly returns string for both InsertionPointX and
 InsertionPointY.

 Since use of such types should always be done through its interfaces. The
 behaviour is as intended. The only problem will be if you try to use an
 FDO expression for InsertionPointY. Only then will the code actually need
 to be updated. Otherwise nothing needs to be done. Frankly, I wouldn't try
 to change anything here unless you have a need to use FDO expressions for
 InsertionPointY
