I consider that a bug.

http://docs.racket-lang.org/r5rs-std/r5rs-Z-H-9.html?q=char-numeric%3F#%_idx_490
"The numeric characters are the ten decimal digits."

Note that meaning changed in R6RS:
"A character is numeric if it has the Unicode “Numeric” property."

So the current Racket behaviour matches R6RS.
