This is not a bug. The options and limitations for writing the target are
documented here.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ecpg-connect.html#ECPG-CONNECTING
In PostgreSQL, plain identifiers cannot begin with a number.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS
Apparently target is a bit looser in what it allows since I’d have expected
both to require quoting.
