If you print a mail merge generated file to file, creating multiple single
documents and generating the filename from a field, the resulting filenames will
not match with the choosen field value.

Steps to reproduce:
1-download the zip package containing sample odt and odb files
2-open the odt document
3-File->Print...
4-confirm you want to print a mail merge
5-don't print to printer, but to single files instead (i.e. one file for each
record)
6-choose to name the generated files after the record's value, in particular use
the field containing text with '.' (dots)
7-print to whatever format you want (tested only with odt and pdf)

What should happen:
the file corresponding to ABC S.r.l. record should be named "ABC S.r.l.0", but
is named "ABC S.r.l0" (last dot missing, "eaten" by the number used to serialize
the filename).
the file corresponding to DEF S.nc should be named "DEF S.nc0", but is named
"DEF S0" (this time eating more characters)

It seems like the characters starting from the last dot (dot itself included)
are removed and replaced with the serialization index.

PS: didn't know how to append a file, so uploaded it on mediafire.
Hope this isn't a problem
