The PDF export options about rounding do not have any effect.
This is with Inkscape 1.3.2, I checked back with yesterday’s devel snapshot: now the empty.svg is also exported oversized (rounded up), the mediabox is now always rounded up to the next integer.
This is a known bug in cairo. They use integers for page width and height and so can only have an 72nds of inch values in PDF exports at the moment.
The options you found are related to resizing THE CONTENT of the pdf so it stretches to match this limitation.
The new PDF exporter from capypdf will not have this restriction. (as well as supporting cmyk, icc, and other things) expecting in the 1.5 version of Inkscape hopefully 2025.
