It's by design. Thats something to do with the 8.3 naming convention. From memory the command strip the long file name extension to 3 to make the match after. I lost my documentation about that, but I found you a older document that told that too;

Use wildcard characters such as the asterisk ( * ) and question mark ( ? ) carefully in conjunction with the del and copy command-line commands. Windows 2000 searches both long and short file names for matches to the wildcard character combination you specify, which can cause additional files to be deleted or copied.
