I have used the HP version of the MCE remote (100% compatible with MS MCE as far as I know) for MP together with a French wireless keyboard on a French MCE2005 system. I have now updated the OS to English XP pro using the same French hardware.
I have not seen this problem. So there is hope for you!
To make sure I understand you correctly;
When you press the number keys (0,1,2, ... , 9) on your infra red remote control MP takes them as !,@,#, ... (or whatever is on the French keyboard, I only have an English at hand here)?
You use the 'MCE remote' input in MP?
I use HIP and the message plug-in in MP, instead of the 'MCE remote input' which for 100% sure could solve your problem, but would probably be more complicated than necessary. I'll be happy to experiment a bit with the 'MCE remote input' for you.
