Nope there is no validity at all to that assertion.
".blah" is perfectly legal on NTFS.. as Gaim creates a .gaim directory
to store it's configuration when running on windows.

Odds are he probably has some file permission problems with his profile
in windows.

as the btb <at> icculus.org mentioned windows Explorer won't allow you
to create a filename or directory with just an extension, but doing from
the command line works fine. (cmd.exe then mkdir .blah)
