Would be nice to know why this was introduced (and when)... Nevertheless it
'could' be useful considering it was possible to upload files like:
*movie.ogv
*movie.webm
*movie.ogg
containing all the same content.

Both are affected (UpWiz and old upload form)

Clumsy workaround: You can still upload the file to any random name and move it
directly after upload to the wanted name.
