On miktex 2.9.

\input foo 
==========
works fine with pdftex, luatex, xetex

\input{foo}
works with luatex (plain) but not with
pdftex,xetex,pdflatex,lualatex,xelatex.

It could be different in other miktex versions: I remember a
discussion about a changed behaviour in different miktex versions.

Imho one should simply avoid files names with an unstandard number
of dots (where unstandard means everything different to 1).
