Hi, I've just reverted http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/36573638 where the mapper thought that name_1 tags were typos. That user is on a key typo fixing spree, which is a good thing in itself, even if mistakes happen.
But I wonder if some people know about the iD editor behavior below, and assume that a name_1 tag must have been created that way ? If so, consider this email as a reminder that the _N suffix is used on purpose by many people. As always, contact the mapper if unsure.
