Given the way complex numbers interact with floats generally, returning a complex number with no imaginary component as a floating point value seems legitimate and the checks in cmath overly strict. Otherwise you would get redundancy like:
def complex(self): return complex(value) or def complex(self): return value + 0j
I've opened bugs.python.org/issue16290 to track this.
