Comment (by robe):

 Curiously I get the same answer in SQL Server 2008

 SELECT Geometry::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING(10000 1,10000.1
 1)',0).STLength();

 yields:
 0.100000000000364

 Have no clue.  But I guess it can't be something specific about PostgreSQL
 -- unless its some old code borrowed way back by the original Ingres team
 before
 split off to form (PostgreSQL/Illustra/Informix , Sybase -> SQL Server)
