OK, it's due to the large number of digits in those names. I've fixed it in my local copy, and it should work in v2.12.9 and v2.13.37 when they are released.

While Carl was able to fix this - it is really not a good idea to have numbered image sequences with so many ambiguous numbers in the filename. Restrict it to only the image sequence number. There are tools for automatic renaming for every operating system.
