Doubles are approximations rather than exact values. If you want exact results then you have to use Rational.

With Double:

λ> (Point2 340000 5700000 :: Point 2 Double) `inPolygon` fromPoints [Point2 334882.785 5689376.404 :+ (), Point2 334882.785 5714648.124 :+ (), Point2 348981.954 5714648.124 :+ (), Point2 348981.954 5689376.404 :+ ()]
Outside

With Rational:

λ> (Point2 340000 5700000 :: Point 2 Rational) `inPolygon` fromPoints [Point2 334882.785 5689376.404 :+ (), Point2 334882.785 5714648.124 :+ (), Point2 348981.954 5714648.124 :+ (), Point2 348981.954 5689376.404 :+ ()]
Inside

This is simply the nature of doubles. When in doubt, use Rationals.

λ> [1,1.1 .. 1.2]
[1.0,1.1,1.2000000000000002]

Ah OK, I feared I was running into floating point precision errors here ... And wasn't really aware of the Rational type, so at least I learned something. ;-) Thank you!
