The change in behavior you describe came with 4f98694bf (Allow numeric
values for priorities, 2020-01-30).  Based on quickly skimming that
commit, I think the issue boils down to intentionally not supporting a
mix of numbers and letters.  I'm out of time tonight to look at it too
closely, but I think support for your use case could be restored with
something like the lightly tested patch below.
