Most people are used to and can cope with small differences due to rounding, but the cumulative rounding errors can amount to a totally wrong answer when added up in several intermediate steps.

Regardless, that's not comparable to the complex branch case. Choosing the wrong branch of a multi-valued function is a conceptual mistake that unavoidably leads to a completely wrong result.
