ACAD DWG writer erroneously converts int32s to strings

I'm converting DWGs to DWGs, basically copying existing DWGs to new ones with a few extended entity attributes changing values. However, the data types on the output file are string representations, rather than the 32-bit integers that are read from the input drawing and recognized as integers throughout. How can I get the ACAD writer to output the values with the correct data type? I'm using a dynamic schema, with the schema source being the input drawing.

 

Also, how do I know that the output drawing is truly a high fidelity copy of the input drawing? I'm following all the guidelines in the documentation about DWG-to-DWG settings, yet if data types are changing, I wonder what else might be changed/lost in the process, for example, external data links and line styles.
