This is on the tasks list, see "mpf_set_str produces low zero limbs"

Look for low zero limbs in f->_mp_d and strip them by moving the rest
down and adjusting f->_mp_size accordingly.  Note however you are not
guaranteed to be compatible with future releases if you tinker with
the internals like this.
