No, it is not:

t.pas
---
var
  x: Double;
  d: Integer;
begin
  Val('e+', x, d);
  Writeln(x, ' ', d);
end.
---
dcc32 -cc t.pas
t.exe
==>
 0.00000000000000E+0000 3
---
fpc t.pas
t.exe
==>
 0.00000000000000E+000 1

So both Delphi and FPC reject 'e+' as a floating-point value,
although with different error positions.
The latter is probably a compatibility bug in FPC's Val procedure.
