Comment:

 Ok, here's a diff. All this does is allow an admin to upload a valid
 mimetype image without the stripping of the dot between filename and ext.
 Non-admin users will still have valid filenames mangled which is exactly
 opposite of how it was with the previous changeset. I spent some time
 reviewing mods to wp-admin/admin-functions.php and wp-
 includes/functions.php in SVN and I can't really determine where this
 greedy stripping is occurring.

 Regardless, I'm reopening as I don't believe this is expected behavior. If
 we don't want non-admins to upload images, let's take away the uploader -
 not change their files behind their backs. If we DO want to allow non-
 admins to upload images, then my changeset does not address this issue and
 we need to find out where those greedy regexes (or whatever) are mangling
 the files.
