   Is the behaviour in the subject line correct? I have tested this on w32:

   GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2006-05-01

   If this is the correct behaviour then maybe the docstring should tell 
   about it?

Yes, it is documented in the Elisp manual (but not in the docstring).

     This function returns FILENAME's final "extension", if any, after
     applying `file-name-sans-versions' to remove any version/backup
     part.
