In fact, I am surprised that graphicx processes the file name with two dots correctly. Normally graphicx uses the last dot to be the delimiter for the file extension. Anything that looks like .crop.pdf or so usually does not work. How does graphicx implement the routine to determine the file extension. Apparently it uses some tex-engine specific routines. I never knew that.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

On drivers where different inclusion \special's are needed for different filetypes then normally such filenames don't work by default however some drivers basically treat all file types the same at this level in which case the extension doesn't matter (This seems to be the case with xetex.def which has a default rule for any extension)<br>

If you use the ext key the graphicx code does not try to split up the filename given in the second argument.<br>
