I uploaded 31 2-column .tsv files.  Each line of the file had one TAB 
character and one NEWLINE character.

27 of them imported correctly.  4 imported as if they were .csv files, the 
TAB character being treated as column data, and the commas in the text of 
the cells being treated as delimiters, so there were many more columns than 
2 created.

At first, I didn't have column headers in the first row, and the first rows 
contained commas, and I wondered if that might be the problem, but after 
adding column headers as an additional first row, and reimporting, the 
problem persisted.

What, besides the original file name, is Google using to decide what format 
the original file is, such that it ignores the explicit .tsv extension, and 
uses the .csv importer (apparently)?
