I think they should align to the =. In fact, if you use anything but a
number, it will align to that anything. Try this: set a normal decimal
separator like a colon and test inserting things like

123,2
12.32
1m232

you'll see that the m aligns with the colon, but the dot do not. It seem
that the system is able to recognize colons and dots but treat anything
that it's not a number, a colon or a dot like a valid decimal separator. So
yes, it seems a bug.
