BAD FILENAME DETECTED: something.[common-extension].pdf

In watching all the BAD FILENAME DETECTED emails MailScanner sends to
Postmaster ( Doing a wonderful job! ) I have noticed a lot of files
that have that last ".pdf" after ".doc", ".docx", ".xls", etc.

What is bothering me there are so many coming from US government agencies.

Is there any chance some applications used by government agencies
actually produce files named like these?
