It's possible to create files and directories with one trailing dot on  
Windows/NTFS. FAR Manager allows doing this, for example. I'm not sure if  
the implementation does anything special to achieve this, but it's not  
impossible. (Ditto with leading and trailing spaces.)

By the way, not sure if it's been mentioned in this discussion but:

".exe" is an executable file with no name. It's perfectly valid.
