Research direction
Start with the attached test_doublevar.py minimal example and reproduce the failure under a locale using a comma decimal separator. Read the Tkinter DoubleVar behavior around that example, then compare the linked PRs gh-152008, gh-152049, gh-152050, and gh-152051. Done means the regression is covered by a test and DoubleVar handles the locale correctly.
