When using ereg_replace() with a numeric 2nd argument (replacement string), this argument is treated as an empty string.
ereg_replace('4', 3, '124') produces '12' instead of '123'.

You are correct in saying that the second argument is a
'replacement string', not a number. The documentation
is very clear about this.

But preg_replace('/4/', 3, '124') will produce '123' as 
expected. Even if it's not a bug, it still would be nice 
if that number would be autoconverted to string.

This is impossible due to the fact that ereg_replace() supports the specifying of ascii values as a replacement argument.

But this also happends with double, not only with integer. 
In this case it should be possible to autoconvert it to 
string.
