Well, that'll teach me to post before Googling:
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/8108/fid/53 or any of the other 629,000 references to it....

It's the old assumed radix deal...

       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 10:[" + parseInt("10") + "]" ) ;
   </handler>

would show this in DHTML mode in both Firefox & IE:
testApp.lzx test 01:[1]
testApp.lzx test 02:[2]
testApp.lzx test 03:[3]
testApp.lzx test 04:[4]
testApp.lzx test 05:[5]
testApp.lzx test 06:[6]
testApp.lzx test 07:[7]
testApp.lzx test 08:[0]
testApp.lzx test 09:[0]
testApp.lzx test 10:[10]

and this in Flash:
testApp.lzx test 01:[1]
testApp.lzx test 02:[2]
testApp.lzx test 03:[3]
testApp.lzx test 04:[4]
testApp.lzx test 05:[5]
testApp.lzx test 06:[6]
testApp.lzx test 07:[7]
testApp.lzx test 08:[8]
testApp.lzx test 09:[9]
testApp.lzx test 10:[10]

Notice the values printed for 08 & 09 in each.
I created this output using this code:
=================================================
<!DOCTYPE canvas SYSTEM "http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps/tools/lzx.dtd";>

<canvas>
     <handler name="oninit">
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 01:[" + parseInt("01") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 02:[" + parseInt("02") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 03:[" + parseInt("03") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 04:[" + parseInt("04") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 05:[" + parseInt("05") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 06:[" + parseInt("06") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 07:[" + parseInt("07") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 08:[" + parseInt("08") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 09:[" + parseInt("09") + "]" ) ;
       Debug.write( "testApp.lzx test 10:[" + parseInt("10") + "]" ) ;
   </handler>

             <view>
       <text>Hello...</text>
   </view>
</canvas>

=================================================

I got onto this testing my real app which grabs the hours and minutes from a time string in the form of HH:MM, parseInt()'ing the values to int's and putting them into a Date object. Doesn't seem to work so well in DHTML. The Flash script engine got it right.
