Doing so is legitimated by the last paragraph of 6.2.1:

        Rational operations such as + should always produce exact
        results when given exact arguments.  If the operation is unable
        to produce an exact result, then it may either report the
        violation of an implementation restriction or it may silently
        coerce its result to an inexact value.

I'll retest with the Schemes whose implementers we haven't heard from
in a few days, after changes to the test have settled down.
