Comment (by JDTrower):

 Actually, I am able to verify that this does happen.  If you have a custom
 permalink, where you have something like /archives/%postname%/ or
 /archives/post/%postname%/ and you publish a post with a numeric title
 such as 2008, when you click to view the post, you get a 404 error.  In
 all my testing, this only occurs with this type of a permalink where you
 have a static word followed by a forward slash and then the dynamic
 postname.

 If you try /archive/%author%/%postname/ or put any of the other dynamic
 options between the static word and the dynamic postname, the link will
 work fine.

 I verified this in 2.3.1 and in 2.4 trunk.
