This will probably be difficult to improve, since the inconsistency is in the Flash Player and not in the Spicelib Reflection API.

See this forum thread: http://www.spicefactory.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=89

I'll see if there is a way to hack an Exception especially for Number types into the forInstance method.

Slightly improved. Results are now consistent for forInstance and forName, but you still will never get uint as the resolved class.
