What will happen if you try to send 1.42052000 BTC, and your inputs total 1.42055000? Will the standard bitcoin client disregard sending a change TX, as that will make it nonstandard?
The exact same thing that already happens, in fact— an output of less than 0.01 implies a minimum fee of 0.0005 and 1.42055000-1.42052000=0.00003 which is less than 0.0005 so instead of adding the 0.00003 output as change and then having to pay an additional 0.0005 in fees, it just directly pays the 0.00003 as fees. In that case the 5430 satoshi threshold doesn't come into it because the 0.01 threshold matters more.
