It turns out that only the F8 format is supported and this fix is applicable to all NETCDF3-compatible formats.

It could be as simple as writing a file to disk as NETCDF4_CLASSIC and verifying that the dtype is preserved when it's read back.

I misunderstand the description of that file format.

I think your diagnosis about the issue here is correct. Any interest in putting together a fix?
