Thanks for reporting this. I’ve verified it and fixed it for the next release: https://feedback.objo.dev/bug/612

The root cause was that Objo was asking .NET for a culture using a lookup that can synthesize culture objects for values like "1111". That meant Locale.FromIdentifier("1111") could return a Locale even though it is not a real known platform locale.

The fix changes Locale validation to require known platform locales. After the fix:

Print(Locale.IsValidIdentifier("1111")) # False
Locale.FromIdentifier("1111")           # Runtime error: Unknown locale identifier '1111'.
