FYI, I've seen the same issue with the guild XP numbers. This appears to be caused by rounding placed on the major XP bars. Its quite possible SOE has implemented rounding on all the XP bars.

For those that care, here's the technical details of how the XP bars work.

The whole number is derived from the major XP bar which was returning a trimmed value with no rounding. So 78.9 would report as 78. If SOE has implemented rounding on the major bar, 78.9 will report as 79.

The decimal number is derived from the minor bar which reports the first whole didget and one decimal place. So 78.9 reports as 89. The first diget is cropped by the mod and sandwitched together with the first field.

When combined without roounding 78.9 will appear as 78.9. With rounding it appears as 79.9. 79.1 will appear as 79.1. And that's where we'll see what looks like a drop in XP.

At any rate, nothing was changed in any UI files containing XP bars. There's no need to remove anything unless you'd rather have no numbers than numbers with a minor rounding problem.
