No, it is a general problem.
It's a problem here because `read-from-minibuffer' reads an
integer numeral as input, and the value read is effectively a
floating-point number.
You can see the same thing happen for (format "%S" 999999999).
That returns the number 999999999.0.
IOW, it is the Lisp reader that reads an integer numeral and
returns a non-integer number: (not (integerp 999999999)).
