This is not a bug, it is on purpose and by design for security reasons.

Dots in that position can cause Internet Explorer to assume HTML parsing, raw
content must only be served when the extension is controlled (i.e. .php).

Aside from that, you shouldn't be constructing urls like this yourself. If you
like to write your own urls, do follow the format the software uses, because
the software will never create a url that follows the structure of one action
combined with another (e.g. view action url, like /wiki/Page_name with action
query).

Which, for actions not otherwise specified (by default none), is
index.php?title=&action= and that works.

I'd say this is an instance of DontDoThat, the software doesn't lead there so
its not a problem.
