Given that there is an easy workaround (use bw 1500Kbit/s)
i'd probably just leave it alone, at least for 8.1

I think this behaviour (only accepting integers before the unit)
has been there forever, and is one of the many things broken in
the code that parses bandwidth, sizes and delays.
I am slightly afraid of fixing it because people might have
(broken) configurations relying on undocumented behaviour.
