This behavior is not unique to Windows XP or Metacard, it works like this in Windows 2000 as well, and for all apps that use standard file dialogs. I discovered this quite by accident about a week ago, as I accidentally pasted a filename into the wrong place, well, not thinking that the filename would actually be changed, I then pasted the text into the filename box and pressed the save button, thus overwriting the contents of the file that I had just inadvertently renamed.
