Hi Thomas!
You were da.. right. In KDE's language settings the number of decimals was 0.
I had that idea myself right in the beginning but instantly rejected it 
because the problem existed only in the split menu, not in KMM's ledger view 
nor anywhere else.
I have to admit now that my logic was wrong (and I am not going to ask why).

Thanks!
Have a nice Altweibersommer-weekend,
