There is a rounding error when using lbs & oz units.  When adding fermentables the units are in decimal lbs but are displayed in lbs & oz in the design tab.  If you enter anything with more than 14.9 oz (0.93125 lb) it rounds to the next pound.  However you can have .1oz resolution until you get over 15oz then its rounded up. 

Enter          Display
8.9lbs          8lbs 14.4oz
8.93lbs        8lbs 14.9oz
8.94lbs        9lbs
8lbs 15oz    8lbs 15oz
8lbs 15.1oz 9lbs
 
You may need to change the resolution for the display under Options->Units.  Next to the "Weight Units" try setting the precision number higher such as "1" or "2" which should force more digits into the weight displays.

Weight precision is already set to 2.  Increment 1.000 and default 1.000.
