For a simpler explanation of why this is a valid bug, try:
    javascript:alert((1.95).toPrecision(21))

(but! this also doesn't work in ToT!) - the correct result should be 1.94999999999999995559.

Since the precise mathematical value passed to toFixed is closer to 1.9 than 2.0, 1.9 is the correct result.

This should be fixed by https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44745
