--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
This is not a bug. The leading zeroes should not affect the type of the
literal. But when you need to have a literal of specific type, use type
characters: e.g., '&' for long (see tdf#130476).

The previous behavior was a bug. Current behavior is not only correct, but also
consistent with other Basic variants, like VBA.

Compare:

> MsgBox TypeName(&H00008000)
> MsgBox TypeName(&H00008000&)
