It seems to be a serious syntax bug that emacs does not recognize
1.23 or foo.bar as a single sexp in lisp or scheme mode.

I assume that . is not a symbol constituent because of dotted pairs.
But 1.20 and foo.bar are legitimate Scheme and Lisp sexps. This
is causing sexp code to break in these atomic cases.
