I have mixed feelings about this. I agree that people rarely need to call an
image ".png", but it's a valid filename on Windows (and many other platforms).
The save succeeds, the status bar shows the new name ".png", the file should
show up in Explorer, it also shows up in Grafx2's fileselector, including when
the filter is on "png". You're not stuck, you can re-open the image in Grafx2
and any other image viewer; Windows Explorer lets you rename the file to
whatyouwant.png.
I've just tried on an old version of Photoshop, it has exactly the same
behavior as Grafx2 :/ (ok it's not an excuse... I was just wondering how they
handled it)
If more people think it's bad I'll act anyway, but at least I'd prefer not make
it an error message: Rather disable the OK button when the typed filename is
completely empty. This will let people call their filename ".png" if they want,
when they type it entirely.

GIMP also accepts doing that. Being a linux app, it's a bit more annoying
because dotfiles are hidden. But I don't see why this should be disallowed...
