I have a background layer and am inserting a 512x512 image.
I want to set the inserted image to 512 x 512. I use ctrl + t and make it 512x512 and apply the free transform.
If I push ctrl + t again to check that it applied it shows it at 508.74 x 508.74. Why does it not like the size 512 x 512 when that is the imported images actual size?

Only thing I can think of to explain why are differences of DPI between the two documents. Anyway, try this as a workaround: Open the first 512x512 image and float the background (convert it to layer 0) and Save As a new PSD. Now go to Image > Canvas size, click the top-left alignment square and change the resolution (not the DPI!) to the final size you want. Now simply drag the other images in and position.
I've encounter this when I try to change the dimensions as you did. I realized that if I kept the "maintain aspect ratio" on while entering the pixel dimensions it would tend to round it off a pixel or two. Not sure why. BUT if I entered the number manually for both the (H) and (W) then it would keep what I entered. Give it a go and let me know if that works?
