It works if you change the definition of \dohandledigits to the following

     \def\dohandledigits
       {\mathcode`\,="003B \mathcode`\.="003A % were 013B and 013A
        \expandafter\handletokens\collecteddigits\with\scandigits
        \ifcase\powerdigits\else\digitpowerseparator^{\savedpowerdigits}\fi}

This is because euler takes , and . from mr family (family 0) while in 
other fonts they come from mi (family 1).

I don't understand why the mathcode needs to be changed inside 
dohandledigits, do cannot figure out a way to fix the bug. One option can 
be to store the mathcode of , and . before we start manipulating digits, 
and then restore them to their original values (something like that 
\pushcatcodetable and \popcatcodetable).
