Each case may not be so complex to work around, but in total it seems 
like Scilab 6 is not yet well prepared for int64 and uint64.

For instance  %x and %o need to be handled too, functions like dec2bin() 
and dec2hex() should work - etc.

Generally a lot of caution is needed when using these 64 bit integers.  
Example:

--> int64(2^62+256+1) //loss of prescision
  ans  =
   4611686018427387904

--> int64(2^62)+256+1 //correct
  ans  =
   4611686018427388161

--> int64(2)^62+256+1 // correct
  ans  =
   4611686018427388161
