But why actually this version clips all samples higher than 1.000000 ? I thought that if there are fp support it means all samples will be processed and encoded (like in OggEnc - there are no clipping with any peaks!)

The encoder doesn't do that when the input is in the floating point format. Assuming you actually tested the behavior, how did you decode the files and how did you verify the clipping?

I thought that if there are fp support it means all samples will be processed and encoded (like in OggEnc - there are no clipping with any peaks!)

The decoded output will preserve the peaks that exceed "1" aka 0 dBFS as long as it is kept in a floating point format. When it is converted to an integer bit depth the peaks will be clipped unless the volume level is adjusted to prevent that. Ogg Vorbis and MP3 do not differ in this.
