But it wouldn't help, because if there is an input value f greater than
1.0 then there's no guarantee that the least significant bit of
(int32_t) f * 65536 will be a 1. So even with the addition of the
masking here, incorrect results would still be obtained for some input
values > 1.0.

Yes, the clamping of color channel input values to [0.0, 1.0] exists
and is documented:
