I encounter a similar problem.  Apparently, files with a trailing "." are

$ touch ab. cd.
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r--   1 administ JRW             0 Apr 17 18:21 ab
-rw-r--r--   1 administ JRW             0 Apr 17 18:21 cd
$ rm ab.
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r--   1 administ JRW             0 Apr 17 18:21 cd
$ rm cd
$ ls -l
total 0
