The macro \calculateexternalfigure seems to set the extension to empty
if the figure file name is the same as the jobname:

   % redo message, only filename
   \doifparentfileelse\@@effilename

      \let\@@efextension\empty
      \showmessage\m!figures9\@@effilename
      \donefalse}
     \donothing

(core-fig.tex)

Therefore it does not search for your nonstandard extension.

the search for graphics is kind of fuzzy and dates from the time that we were still using dvi (different backends)


- without suffix: try the best quality (depends on spec driver support)
- with suffix: try that first, else locate alternative
- same as parent file: try to avoid circular loading (keep in mind that tex code can be a graphic, i.e. buffers can be scaled)


- all these are combined with a search over several paths, utilityfile, etc

also, most of this is overloaded when using figure databases -)
