DefaultFileManager incorrect

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The bug appears when trying to create resource with filename '.' from annotation processor level. Folllowing line:

processingEnv.getFiler().createResource(StandardLocation.CLASS_OUTPUT, "foo", ".foo2", element)

throws Exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: relativeName is invalid
at com.sun.tools.javac.util.DefaultFileManager.getFileForOutput(DefaultFileManager.java:1050)

In spec it is said:
"A relative name is a non-null, non-empty sequence of path segments separated by '/'.; '.' or '..' are invalid path segments."

But in that case '.' at the begining of filename is not the segment. There is a difference between ".foo2" and "./foo2". The first one seems to be correct filename. But I cannot create it with DefaultFileManager. There is no way to create resource starting with '.' character.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
