Rounding fs/ft to machine precision will always make it a rational
number. Irrational numbers cannot be represented in any floating-point
format system that I know of.

The effective angular rotation is the arc tangent of the achievable gains,
which are, as you point out, rational ratios.  The arc tangent of a
rational number is not, however, in general, rational.

Yes, you could do that, but why?  If you just want to capture a vector of
I and Q values, why not just make up a sine table of the correct length and
play it back?

Hi,
  Yep.   And, of course, giving full acknowledgement 
to Mr. Clay Turner

Rotation of pi/2 is that simple: 

Yi[n] = -Yq[n-1]
Yq[n] =  Yi[n-1]

Yes, sin(pi/2)=0.02741, but only if you interpret the pi/2 as degrees. You
should doublecheck the radiant/degrees settings of your pocket calculator

Wait a minute... 
Is it only about generating the LO waveform, for use in a wavetable
lookup?
That's straightforward, I put the equations here:
