Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 For anyone looking to do this meanwhile and is willing to give up the
 paging ability, here's a plugin I wrote:

 {{{
 <?php
 /*
 Plugin Name:  Allow Numeric Stubs
 Description:  Allows children Pages to have a stub that is only a number.
 Sacrifices the <code>&lt;!--nextpage--&gt;</code> ability in Pages.
 Version:      2008.07.23
 Author:       Viper007Bond
 Author URI:   http://www.viper007bond.com/
 */


 // Register plugin hooks
 register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'allow_numeric_stubs_activate' );
 add_filter( 'page_rewrite_rules', 'allow_numeric_stubs' );


 // Force a flush of the rewrite rules when this plugin is activated
 function allow_numeric_stubs_activate() {
         global $wp_rewrite;
         $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
 }


 // Remove the offending rule and replace it with something else
 function allow_numeric_stubs( $rules ) {
         unset( $rules['(.+?)(/[0-9]+)?/?$'] );

         $rules['(.+?)?/?$'] = 'index.php?pagename=$matches[1]';

         return $rules;
 }

 ?>
 }}}
