I generated a minimal example. It looks like that:

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{a.z.pdf}
\end{document}

That file a.z.pdf I just touched and he bombs out with that message.
So I guess graphics parses the filename from the beginning to the end
to get the extension and starts reading as soon as the first dot is
found. I'll contact upstream about that. Meanwhile you could just
rename the file if it's acceptable for you...
