The issue persists in a slightly different form with .desktop files:

1. Create a .desktop file on the desktop.
2. Right click on it and give it permission to launch.
3. Double-click on it and confirm that it launches.
4. Mv it to a new name in a terminal window.
5. Observe how it remains displayed as an app icon rather than switching to a text file.
6. Further observe that when you right-click on it, there is a "Don't Allow Launching" menu command available.
6. Double-click on it and observe that instead of launching, it opens in gedit.

Either (a) double-clicking on the renamed .desktop file should cause the app to launch, or (b) the icon should change to a text-file icon and the menu item should change to "Allow Launching" when the file is renamed.

The current behavior, however, is an incorrect combination of those two possible correct behaviors.
