OK, so you ignore anything that has a non-digit here, to ensure that...

... this one triggers only for a string $1 that consists solely of
digits.

Makes sense.  I notice that both of the two existing case/esac
statements in this function indent case arms and their bodies one
level too deep, which you follwed with the above addition.  That may
be something we would want to fix in a follow-up patch.

I agree with Peff that the change in error message he noticed is
probably an improvement ;-)

Want to do a final log message to make it a real patch?

Thanks.
