This is really strange. It looks like a bug, but the more I fool with it
the more it looks like a completely non-intuitive design feature! It is
strange we haven't heard from ExelisVis about this. But, I have written
a short article that describes what you have to do to preserve the file
extension of the compressed file here:

Cheers,
