I really think this behaviour should be optional, and off by default, or
on a separate command. I've seen it cause this same problem over and
over again. (I'm pretty sure there is at least one open bug report with
the same root cause.)

Personally I have never wanted/needed the character representation of
numbers printed in this way.
