The .com text comes from your keyboard layout. For example, for the Polish layout, you might have the choice for a .pl key. I believe that the logic that detects whether there are two dots, is done in the app and not in the keyboard layout. To verify, type such a URL in a text editor on an iPhone. A hostname with two consequetive dots is probable illegal, so I assume that the browser just removes the duplicates as a usability feature.
