Oh, but it is not a bug. The "problem" is that in the third row, the "0.025" is detected as a number 25; and that is correct, according to the "Danish" locale chosen in the "Language" selector (see tdf#138748 for the terminology issue). Danish locale uses dot as thousand separator; so the text where three decimal digits are separated by the dot are identified as integer values, and where different number of digits is separated by dot is correctly not detected as a valid number. The file does *not* use Danish locale conventions, so it should either be imported using English (USA) selected as "Language", or the column itself should be marked as "US English".
