Yeah, that multiple README resolution is potentially an issue.  Wouldn't that 
be an issue even for plain text README files?  Suppose someone changes 
README.emacs.  Would README.emacs be the README file that gets shown when 
browsing the repository?  Maybe they give priority to "README" (bare and with 
known extensions) over "*[Rr][Ee][Aa][Dd][Mm][Ee]*" to avoid this very problem?
