I'm surprised some folks said the "bar.png." worked on any distro of Linux, short of maybe when running the windows exe for it in Wine. Perhaps these people were running it on a Samba share, FAT or NTFS filesystem on their distro? Any of the common "standard" filesystems for Linux (eg ext4, btrfs, xfs) don't do stupid things like respect case on write but ignore case on load (looking at you NTFS), or ignore any special characters like <cr> tacked onto the end because a dev may have screwed up their string filtering. Depending on what the Renpy SDK is doing for system calls that extra "." might be interpreted as is or be considered a regular expression that stands for "any" character other than nothing appears here. Macs will be in the same boat since under the hood they stole a lot from BSD Unix and thus share a common heritage with Linux.
Also if that quick fix on the front page was supposedly for this bug, the link is busted. I had to fix this for myself.
