Looks like for JPG, the Resolution is being truncated and this affects the print size.

The JFIF resolution marker is integer. To get a fractional resolution you must include an EXIF profile that includes the resolution field. ImageMagick detects this and updates the resolution field with the fractional resolution.

Sorry, I do not understand. When I set the resolution to a fractional value, why does it not adjust the JFIF marker to permit the fractional value?

The JFIF marker only supports 2-byte integer values. EXIF uses 4-byte integers (its divided by 65536) permitting fractional values. See the JFIF format specification.
