Good point with overlapping readings.
However, I must agree with some of the comments that followed your post - it is just a rounding.

Overall I agree that this kind of precision (1/10 of a second) serves no purpose. Maybe except that it does confuse reader and also impress on the reader that the transcript supposedly is really precise.

On other topic (with 1/10 seconds omitted):
10:10:13 [Navigator] Fuel
10:10:14 [2nd Pilot] Approximately 11 tonnes for landing.
(..)
10:18:22 [Unidentified] How much fuel do we have?
10:18:24 [2nd Pilot] We have approximately 13- 12,5 tonnes.
(..)
10:23:47 [ATC] Polish Foxtrot 1-0-1, remaining fuel, how much fuel do you have?
10:23:55 [Capitan] 11 tonnes remaining.
(..)
10:33:23 [Unrecognized] Fuel.
10:33:25 [Flight Engineer] Currently we have 12 tonnes.

Why so erratic fuel readings?
