This isn't really a bug. As I wanted to avoid a second parameter per 
argument that describes the data type as a descriptive argument for each 
parameter is too inconvenient imho. If you want to force a string you 
need to prefix the number somehow. The function tests if the parameter 
is a correct Lua number and if it's not, it tests if it's a valid Lua 
string. In your case the number is too large, but Lua still identifies 
it as a number.

  Large numerical arguments for raiseEvent(eventName, argumentOne) are
  converted to 0 where argumentOne is a large number. For instance
  raiseEvent("experienceCapture", "1207269166") passes
  "experienceCapture","0"
