This would be a bug if it is true.  The manual says to include the period:

   * For Info and HTML output, 'makeinfo' uses the optional fifth
     argument EXTENSION to '@image' for the filename extension, if it is
     specified and the file is found.  Any leading period should be
     included in EXTENSION.  For example:

          @image{foo,,,,.xpm}
