If you check for "is a stack", Rev will check the stack name (and I 
think it also opens it, like it does stacks in use, but don't quote me 
on that.) If you check for "is a file", Rev will only check the file 
name and the stack is not opened.

Now, why checking "is a stack" is giving you true with only the file 
name matching seems odd at first. But it may have to do with a change 
that took place some years ago, when it became possible to refer to a 
stack in scripts interchangeably by either its stack name or its file 
name. So the engine must be checking both and returning true if there is 
a match in either place.
