I have seen this issue, too, on two Debian 8 servers (can only reproduce on one of them any longer). I run the following script:

$formatter = new NumberFormatter('de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL);
var_dump($formatter->parse('9,90'));

Sometimes it outputs float(9.9), sometimes it outputs float(9). What could possibly cause this?

Float to string conversion is locale sensitive prior to PHP 8.0.0,
and the locale is set per process.  That explains why that
sometimes worked, and sometimes failed.  See also
