I haven't tried it, but what you say about the Map is interesting and
makes me guess that what I suggested above would fail. So the problem
with retrieval likely stems from the fact that the key name is numeric.
Have you tried an Ident object which takes a numeric parameter for the
key name (e.g. int or Integer)?
