Okay, that makes some sense to me. You can refer to a stack in a script 
by either its short name (the one in stack properties) or by its file 
path. Apparently the engine assumes that a stack name with an extension 
is a file path on disk. I can see how this might mess up the standalone 
builder, which probably always assumes that the short name is never a 
disk-based reference.

Stack names in the property inspector should never include an extension, 
I suspect.
