Oops, yes, that's what I actually meant, otherwise you get the bytes of the
hex string :)

No, it's not a bug, it's just that hex mandates an even number of
characters, whereas
the textual representation of a number doesn't - but padding
appropriately to get
an even number of characters like you mentioned solves the issue.
