Numeric column names trip up the engine when referring to the internal  
data grid controls. Rather than targeting a control named "1" the  
engine targets control # 1.

If I were to go back and rewrite the internal column naming scheme I  
would probably add a prefix to the internal column controls (e.g.  
"dgcol1" for a column the developer named "1"). I think this would get  
around the issue. For now stay away from numeric column names.
