Bug Description

1) ensure that Nautilus does not display hidden files (view-show hidden files is unticked)
2) right click in a folder, select Create New Document -> Empty Document
3) name the document ".is_audio_player" and press enter

The document name goes back to "Untitled Document" in nautilus, however if you examine the filesystem the file has actually been created as ".is_audio_player".

What I would expect to happen is that the displayed name remains at ".is_audio_player" after I press enter, otherwise it leads me to believe that I was unsuccessful at changing the filename. Given that I have just created a hidden file, I might expect that it would immediately disappear after I have renamed it. I might also expect that it was displayed (with the correct name) because I had it selected. Either of those behaviours are better than the rename operation apparently failing (but actually succeeding).
