I agree on all counts - I didn't think this through thoroughly (ha!
alliteration!) before sending my last post. I'd consider it annoying, if
not necessarily a bug, to get that error message for having specified a
filename with no extension at all (which is going to be rather more
common, for me, than specifying a filename with an extension which does
not match the container format).
