Directory ID's can be anything you like as long as they're valid identifiers (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa369212.aspx) since they go directly into the Directory table. They don't need to reflect the actual name of the directory.
Just rename it after harvesting.

I suppose the Id cannot be purely numeric, so the underscore is prepended. However, I'm trying to mimic another MSI package, and that one has the Id of "Directory1234": <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> <Directory Id="foo" Name="foo"> <Directory Id="bar" Name="bar"> <Directory Id="Directory1234" Name="1234"> How can that be achieved?
