The Win32 file search functions search both the long and short versions of
file names. When the short version of a file name is created any extension
is limited to 3 characters. You can see this when you do a dir /x in a
directory. See also:

There are ...Ex() versions of the file search functions which on Win2008R2
and Win7 can ignore the short file names but that doesn't help with VIM on
older versions of Windows.

That explains it, thanks for the link!
That suggests that Vim would try to source a file named abc.vimdef
in a user's plugin directory, so I tried that at home. Not only did
vim not try to source abc.vimdef, it didn't try to source
garyj.vim,v either. So at home, where I'm still running Windows Vim
7.3.3, I don't see the problem. I discovered the problem at work,
where I think I was running Windows Vim 7.3.46 at the time and
upgraded to Windows Vim 7.3.138 before reporting the problem.
A quick spelunk through the source shows that VIM filters the results
from the Windows find file with the original pattern, I imagine to try
and solve this issue.
However, a quick play in VIM (7.3.138, Win7 x64) seems to show different
behaviour with :args *.vim based on the directory location. Doing :args
*.vim in a runtimepath plugin directory filters out any files whose
extension is more than just .vim, while doing it in a directory not in
the runtimepath picks up the all files whose extension starts with .vim.
This also happens with vim -u NONE -U NONE.
This will need some time in a debugger to find out why there is a
difference, unless someone more experienced with the Windows file
handling code in VIM already knows what is happening.
