The tile matrices are called `00`, `01`, `02`,... and not 0, 1, 2 (see capabilities document). The RESTful service converts the strings to integers, the KVP not.

The WMTS standard defines the tilematrix as a string and not a number (unlike TMS) and you will be able to use tilematices (zoom levels) like 1:100k, 1:50k and then be able to add a 1:75k later without getting in trouble with changed level numbers. This is not configurable in MapProxy right now, but it will be in future releases. 
So the behavior of the RESTful WMTS is a bit backwards compatible with the TMS service (so that you can easily change your OpenLayers client from TMS to WMTS). KVP clients will need to parse the capabilities. 

Hope that clarifies the current behavior.

Oliver
