I don't have an answer to the actual problem but as a workaround have 
you tried getting the total cost value first? Something like:

[tmp tc][total-cost noformat=1][/tmp]
[perl tables="products"]
	my $price = $Tag->scratch('tc');
	my $rounded = sprintf("%.2f",$price);
	$Tag->tmp('newtotal', $rounded);
	return "";
[/perl]

RESULT: [scratch newtotal]
