Hello,

I checked and I wasn't able to reproduce this issue by Content Deployment between 2 SharePoint environments so this seems like an environment specific issue; in-depth engagement is not feasible thru forum replies and this issue requires a more in-depth level of support.
Please visit the below link to see the various paid support options that are available to better meet your needs:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=fh;en-us;offerprophone. If you are a MSDN / TechNet subscriber, you can also contact our support by using your free support incidents.

However, other members of the community may still have encountered the issue you're seeing, and have a solution to offer!

The keywords visible under "System" group are added by tagging documents / list items with predefined (taxonomy) and user defined (folksonomy). There are no pre-populated digit keywords so I do not believe there would be impact other than tagged items losing these tags.

Please see the following articles

I doubt :

if staging has a dummy term and corresponding TaxonomyHiddenList entry . The Content deployment /migration from staging to production create such type of terms.

 

What Microsoft can do to fix it :

1. Suppose staging has a term (myGuid) under Termset1(Guid1), under Group1 ( Guid2) , under Store 1 ( Guid3 ); and while migration of site collection it finds a term in taxonomyhiddenlist which is missing on target >

2. It should search for Guid1 under GUID2 under GUID 3 to create a term with myGuid.

As of now under current implementation by Microsoft for migration API's it seems to be creating entry under Group System Termset Keywords.
