(current-time)
=> (23843 16275 300006 490000)
(decode-time '(23843 16275 300006 490000))
=> (23 5 15 8 7 2019 1 t 7200)
(decode-time '(23843 16275 100006 490000))
=> (23 5 15 8 7 2019 1 t 7200)
So there's no way to represent the microseconds (or the picoseconds) in
the decoded time structure, which makes round-tripping inaccurate. (And
you can't build a parser for time formats with sub-second time based on
the decoded time structure, which is a pain.)
I guess the best way to fix this would be to add the micro- and
picoseconds as (optional) fields at the end of the decoded time list?
It's not very elegant, but it'd be backwards compatible. A different
approach would be to make the seconds field something else than an
integer, but that would introduce more potential problems, I think...

This has now been implemented by Paul on the trunk and I'm closing the
bug report.
