This does not seem like a bug. In MediaWiki, only the full "Title" is checked for uniqueness, which includes the extension. A Title in MediaWiki looks like:

File:My_Awesome_Movie.png

And forms part of the URL.

In the UploadWizard interface, we are hiding the extension and the underscores/spaces conversions, but it is all added back again, behind the scenes.
