That's partly true, it depends on whether the configuration uses
"source /some/dir/*" or "source-dir /some/dir/". The former doesn't use
scandir(3) or the directory_filter() function, only the latter does
filter file names like you describe. Sadly the postinst script puts
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
in /etc/network/interfaces by default.

See the attached config.txt and ifup-v... files.
