Since they have two different page titles, they'd be treated as two different
images.  For that matter, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Banana.jpeg
and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Banana.jpg would still be treated as
two different images.

The only thing this feature does (if enabled) is *allow* for the creation of
"http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Banana";, and decouple the MIME type
from the page title extension.  It does not automatically strip off the
extension from existing page titles or create automatic redirects of any sort.

The parenthetical "(if enabled)" bit is important here, too.  There's nothing
forcing anyone (including Wikimedia Foundation) to actually use this feature
just by virtue of MediaWiki supporting the functionality.
