register_sidebar and dynamic_sidebar inconsistency

Description
Let's register a sidebar in functions.php and use digits for the value of the id key.
<?php register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'test123', // or 'id' => '123', // or 'id' => 123, 'name' => 'test - Mega Menu', ) );
After that, the Widget is showing up at Appearance > Widgets. But when we'd like to retrieve this widget using the dynamic_sidebar function, it won't work:
<?php var_dump(dynamic_sidebar( 'test123' )); var_dump(dynamic_sidebar( '123' )); var_dump(dynamic_sidebar( 123 ));
All var_dumps will return bool(true)

Hi @derkjanspeelman, I've tried your code in my environment and I did not get the same output. Could you please give us more information: the sidebar has widgets? your theme has other sidebars? etc.
The
dynamic_sidebar()
function does returntrue
when there is at least one widget loaded in it. So it is weird it does also print the widget itself when calling it.
