I think I’ve confirmed that the hot fix for "property" is the culprit
here.

CF9 result (without hot fix):
struct
X 112702318
Y 107.481306076
BTW, this code works even with the hot fix:
<cfset x = 112702318 />
<cfset y = x/1024/1024 />
<cfdump var="#variables#" />
Is this perhaps an expression optimization bug in the compiler
introduced since Alpha 2?
Method:
See the code fragments in the Problem Summary.
Result:
No error message - you just get the wrong results.
