E.g. echo Hello >a echo World >a.... results in a single file a, containing "World". The file can be accessed with the name "a" and also "a." etc. Moreover, one can mkdir a directory named "xyz", and use it with any number of dots at the end. mkdir xyz cd xyz..... pwd gives now "(...) /xyz....." I wonder if you intended it to work like this or if it's a bug.
