Inconsistence on file operation when the name already exists with exe extension

[Aaron Schneider]

-- This way works to have the two files simultaneously --:
touch file
touch file.exe

-- This way doesn't --:
touch file.exe
touch file

-- This works again and is similar to 1st --:
touch file.exe && bzip2 file.exe
touch file
bzip2 -d file.exe.bz2
----
How can this be?
