"Number" parameter not optional on FME Server/Cloud

I've set up a workspace with a user parameter of the type "number", which is optional, no range limitations specified

This works fine on Desktop, but when I upload this to my FME Cloud that parameter is suddenly not optional:

Any ideas? I'm using FME 2017, build 17280 on Desktop, 17259 on Cloud.

I guess I could work around this by having it default to a value that can't possibly be a valid value and then filter on that but that seems a bit of a nasty workaround and is almost certainly going to come back and haunt me in the future.

I can reproduce it. It looks like a bug. A workaround is to change the data-type to Text.
