No, I haven't seen that specific behavior. I have seen all sorts of odd
behavior that was only resolved after restarting the CF service, oddly
enough. It's worth pointing out that CFERROR TYPE="EXCEPTION" won't catch
every possible error, only things that CF considers to be runtime
exceptions.
I assume that you have a directory called "error" in your web root, and that
you have the root slash "/" mapped in CF to your web root, or that you have
a CF mapping called "/error" pointing to your error directory? If I recall
correctly, the CFERROR tags resolve their paths the same way that CFINCLUDE
and CFMODULE do.

That is also my understanding, and has been my experience. I've never had an
error page with a name that consists of a number; perhaps that's the
problem. (This is purely a shot in the dark.)
