Yeah, I'd say for normal cfml dev that -1 and "-1" are the same. So outputting true for both seems ok to me.
Would you like me to reopen the issues?

You're absolutely correct in concluding the issue is down to the underlying type differences. I can update OpenBD so that it will identify 1 and "1" as equal though admittedly I'm unsure as to whether I should replicate CF's behaviour entirely. If the numbers involved are negative, CF8 will output false: <cfset a = -1> <cfset b = "-1"> <cfoutput> #a.equals(b)#<br> </cfoutput> I'd rather be consistent and output true in both cases.
