Faking the extension will not change the file type. For example, you cannot open
such a file in "Microsoft Excel 97 Viewer" and also the excel import filter of
OOo will fail. You can set the extension to what you want, the file type will
remain "text". To be an excel-file it needs a specific header and coding in a
specific way.
The file type detection of OOo is designed not to use the extension but the real
file type. So it works as designed and therefore is no defect. You can force OOo
to open it in Calc, when you select the correct filter in the file open dialog.
But be aware the correct filter is not "Excel" but "Text csv".
If you don't like this behavior (as other people who use SAP), you have to write
an enhancement. There are already two enhancements which concern with this
problem, issue 8967 and issue 23078.
