Description:
The upload interface will only accept files compliant with wgFileExtensions *even* if wgCheckFileExtensions is set to false. The problem is in the file:
/skins/common/upload.js
My suggested fix is to make wgCheckFileExtensions a "<script> global" in includes/Skin.php or similar and then check it's value before doing the actual file extension checking in upload.js
