You may patch the source for yourself:

torque/cmds/qsub.c, function process_opts(), around line 2146 (below the
case 'N').
Change the arg "1" to check_job_name() to "0".

Alternatively patch the checking function directly:
torque/src/lib/Libcmds/ck_job_name.c, function check_job_name().
It is the isalpha() call.


ALL: Maybe we should kill this limitation in next releases - what do you think?

Cheers,
