I have no idea, but it should be very easy to find out:
<cftry>
<cffile upload...>
<cfcatch>
<cfoutput>#CFCATCH.Type#</cfoutput>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
You should be able to run this in your upload action page, and see what
happens if you specify the wrong file type. My guess is that CFFILE will
fail silently (not generating an exception), but you should be able to
simply look at FILE.FileWasUploaded or whatever the appropriate File
variable is instead.
