I believe it is. Tracing the function calls, when the priority is
explicitly set on a heading, `org-entry-properties' extracts it as a
/string/ according to `org-priority-regexp'. Otherwise, the default
priority is taken as a /character/ and converted to a string:
#+CAPTION: `lisp/org.el/org-entry-properties'
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(push (cons "PRIORITY"
(if (looking-at org-priority-regexp)
(match-string-no-properties 2)
(char-to-string org-priority-default)))
props)
#+end_src
This is why the default renders correctly for characters, but not
integers (your value of 7 is getting converted to a bell control
character escaped as "^G").
