It runs both ways, but in extensionless case Bash thinks it didn't. Why?
Well, there I agree that my analysis was to shallow. But one thing is clear -
extensionless executable confuses bash, while the other one doesn't.

Whatever - hello was from yesterday's debugging session, conftest is 
from today.

Yes...

...and yes, but the later is quite clear fact. There should be another
reason, of course, and some additional debugging won't harm.
