 The regex used to determine if the current page is blacklisted during meta
 box ordering or screen options changes or box closing actions will filter
 out custom post types that contain numbers in their names.

 In this case all changes to the meta box layout will go unsaved without
 any notice to the user.

 Attached is a patch that abstracts the repetitive / restrictive regex to a
 constant and updates it to accept 0-9.  Not sure if other characters need
 to be added but the base change is there.
