The only pool I've used that pays out the full amount of BTC is Swepool. Other pools like Deepbit will only pay out a portion.

For example, if you had 1.79658246 in your Slush balance, you would only receive 1.79 BTC. Only Swepool pays out the full amount so that your remaining balance is 0 BTC.

Because anyone using the default wallet will lose out on the change, as it doesn't take sub-cents.
This. Not everyone has upgraded, and it would suck to lose up to 20 cents for no good reason.

Could be wrong, but I don't think you actually lose the money. The client just can't "see" it. So if you upgraded to the latest you'd be able to see your full balance.
