Yes, and it specifically is more noticeable in applications that let you open any file type; if you open and save a list of specific types, you have described those types to the system (and so there is a registered full extension to use).

That said, I doubt it is something Sublime and others missed in terms of API - TextEdit has the same issue.

For comparison, Xcode actually does register every filetype it supports, so it would be difficult to hit this issue in the official IDE.
