I’v got to agree with the OP here - if you have a file name, and a file with that EXACT filename exists, then that’s what you should get.
Changing the file lookup to do this should not break old stuff.
If you want to be stiff-necked and declare that only “.ijm” is correct, then also ban “.txt”.
If would be (marginally) acceptable (to me) if the EXACT filename were delivered ONLY if the same filename with either “.ijm” or “.txt” did NOT exist. I think this is sub-optimal, but OK.
But, complaining that the file does not exist is clearly (to me) broken.
