input of hexadecimal integers is corrupted

I understand that Sage tries to recognize a floating-point number due to the 'e', but then how to input a hexadecimal integer?

Looks like this is fixed in Sage 4.1:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.1, Release Date: 2009-07-09                         |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sage: 0xabcdf
703711
sage: 0xabcdef

I'm closing this ticket as fixed.
