This implies, if you haven't already done it, that you should have deleted the default guy and saved that scene as your default. If you have to delete Mr. Default every time you start a new scene, your subsequent figures will start at :2 (and you're making unnecessary work for yourself). Is there an advantage to having the :1 references in a saved CR2, other than tidyness? I generally just let mine fall where they may; Poser doesn't seem to care.
