Ok.... you are missing the point
I already agreed that this is not a PB bug.
I agree that a filename can start with a dot.
I also agree that 'empty filename with an extension' can not exist.
The point is..... how do you detect the difference between 'an ERRONEUS empty file with an extention' OR 'a weired LEGAL filename with no extention'.

Anyway, I do a workaround, so no worry.
Case closed

I know. And I took the liberty of confirming it.

You are right. I am missing your point, since you are artificially creating a problem that does not actually exist:

I then check is a 'name' was entered and if it is valid with CheckFilename(name).
So i get things like "C:\user\benjamin\customerfiles\.lti"

First check the user input BEFORE automatically appending something to it. If it's empty, then it's an error.
