Is there a provable limit to the maximum depth of the tie-breaking bit? Otherwise sounds like a potential DOS vector?

It's only limited by the number of decimal digits (after the decimal point) input by the user; computing and storing that is linear in the input size. It's no more a DOS vector than just an enormous source file.
