It isn't a bug actually.

Spreadsheet formulas are sent to Calc (unless it starts with "'(" in
which case it is treated as Elisp). Doing symbolic computations, Calc
parses "1d" as one time the symbolic variable "d". So "1d" is the same
as "d".

Basically, the OP could use instead:

  #+TBLFM: $3='(identity $2)

I guess we could add a "raw" mode string, e.g., ;R, but that's out of
the scope of this bug report.

Regards,
