Champion Point Percentage - Possible Bug

Soul Shriven
As I was testing builds yesterday, I was trying to determine the best cp distribution. I started testing the Ironclad passive to see if it affected PvE damage. (It does.) I also wanted to test how much each point would effect my incoming damage. That's where I noticed something weird at least from a mathematical standpoint. It seems the CP system doesn't apply its bonuses until you break the 1% mark on the passives. I tested this wearing no gear with no skills on my bar. My test dummy was a netch that I found outside of Ebonheart Chateau.
Base damage of basic netch attack with no cp: 1188
Ironclad Test
I did similar test with both hardy and magician (magicka recovery), and found similar results. This doesn't seem to be working as intended because if the equation rounds to the nearest or lowest percentage, what is the point of showing the hundredths mark on the percentages. If I'm not seeing the results of a .1 percent difference when I'm working with thousands of points, then wouldn't the hundredths of points be useless even when dealing with tens of thousands of points.
If someone with a better understanding of the math could test this as well or explain it too me that would be great. I have a program that records gameplay as I play automatically if anyone wants to see the video.
EDIT: Sorry for the layout. I'm terrible at forum formatting.
