Fixes #8942

The current wording "the one" suggests that a disambiguation takes place in all cases, but that's not true. For binary floating-point numbers with one-digit precision, both 9.5 and 10.0 have an even least significant binary digit and are equally near to 9.75, so rounding is ambiguous in that case.
