Windows, I believe, does not take kindly to filenames containing

windowes is very kind to multiple dots but it (normally) sees the last
suffix as an indication of what file is it (other operating system needs
some 'open' command while windows works with associations)
Therefore, Hans never uses such filenames and does not expect them,
either, so I am not surprised that this yields unpredictable results.
actually, mkiv will append a suffix for converted files, so foo.eps.pdf
is made ... works ok
An unfortunate side-effect of dealing with Windows.
more an unfortunate side effect of the way users and porograms construct
filenames and expect systems that use some heuristic to deal with that
to work fine (unless one accepts that foo.tex gets a foo.tex.log and
foo.tex.pdf file as result)
(inconsistent font and file filenames can even make life even more
misserable)
