Comment (by kawauso):

 Using an integer breaks `dynamic_sidebar()` as well, so the sidebar would
 never be displayed anyway. Also noticed that even using a numeric string
 breaks a sidebar's widgets from being displayed in the dashboard, but does
 work with `dynamic_sidebar()` and related.

 Numeric sidebar IDs sound like bad practice too.

 '''Code to reproduce:'''

 {{{
 add_action( 'wp_head', 'sidebar_dump' );
 function sidebar_dump() {
         echo '<pre>';
         var_dump( wp_get_sidebars_widgets() );
         echo '</pre>';
 }

 add_action( 'wp_head', 'sidebar_display' );
 function sidebar_display() {
         echo '<pre>Sidebar integer: ';
         var_dump(dynamic_sidebar(5));
         echo 'Sidebar string: ';
         var_dump(dynamic_sidebar('6'));
         echo '</pre>';
 }

 register_sidebar( array(
     'id'          => 5,
     'name'        => 'Mambo No. 5',
     'description' => 'I break themes',
 ) );

 register_sidebar( array(
     'id'          => '6',
     'name'        => 'Mambo Number 6',
     'description' => 'I break themes',
 ) );
 }}}
