Yes, very odd. I would suggest that you get a utility that shows the
actual type and creator codes associated with a file. I use ResEdit,
which can be found in lots of places - here's one:

http://www.resexcellence.com/resedit.shtml

Go under the File menu, select Get File/Folder Info..., and then select
one of the offending files. I would expect a type of APPL if the system
thinks it's an application.

By the way, you can do lots of dangerous things with ResEdit, so be
careful if you actually start using it to make changes.

But I think it's free for educational and maybe non-profit institutions.
