Actually, I think this is a compliance bug.
ISO/IEC 60559:2020 specifies the following in 4.3 Rounding-direction
attributes:
> Except where stated otherwise,
> the rounding-direction attribute affects all computational operations that might be inexact.
> Inexact numeric floating-point results always have the same sign as the unrounded result.
roundTiesToEven has no exception that would apply here, and
https://eel.is/c++draft/charconv.from.chars#lib:from_chars specifies that
round_to_nearest is to be used, which is intended to mirror those ISO/IEC 60559
modes.
