This is not a bug which Microsoft cannot fix. Certain names are reserved in the OS and cannot be created by the user within the file system because it would screw with the OS.
Other names which result in the same deletion include:
CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL

Con is a name reserved for system use. You can't create a file called LPT1 either.
