If I have some free time tomorrow I will test in English and maybe in some other languages.

I just started up in 10.9.3 Mavericks (English) and exercised my script.
I got the same result ... leading zeros anywhere within a file name are equivalent to "0".

Also, a second thought about this problem: This could be a "feature" designed to facilitate naive users who may not understand details of file naming. (I hope not!) If true, then it should be documented somewhere.

Has anyone seen it documented? And, if so, then where?
