Comment (by sluicebox):

 Hello! Thank you for reporting this bug in our SCI parser.

 SCI has a special `anynumber` word group that is presumably supposed to
 match against any word that appears to be a number that isn't in the
 game's vocabulary. It looks like we're not handling that correctly.

 According to my repository of decompiled SCI scripts, `anynumber` is only
 used twice: in this PQ2 script and in LSL2. Enter some digits into LSL2
 and it will respond "Please don't confuse me with digits! Spell out your
 numbers in words." -- that also does not work in ScummVM.

 That explains why no one has noticed this bug yet, it only affects these
 minor messages. Great catch!
