This is expected. When you assign :var, Org mode reads the table data,
converting it to number.
After discussion of ob-shell related issues I am in doubts if org-babel
should eagerly convert strings to numbers. Perhaps numbers should be
recognized for specific backends only (or vice versa conversion should
be suppressed for specific backends).

It may require boilerplate code for post-processing causing inconvenience.
