Ah, but that's because the expression (0 and (1/X > 0.1)) is bad.
(I've learned to be very afraid of how strongly 'and' binds. ;))

By contrast,

25> F4 = fun(X) when (X =/= 0) and (1/X > 0.1) -> true; (_) -> false
end.
#Fun<erl_eval.6.13229925>
26> [ F4(X) || X <- [0, 0.0, 0.1, 10, 9]].
[false,false,true,false,true]

And to iterate my previous point,

28> F5 = fun(X) when 1/X > 0.1 -> true; (_) -> false end.
#Fun<erl_eval.6.13229925>
29> [F5(X) || X <- [0, 0.0, 0.1, 10, 9]].
[false,false,true,false,true]
