You got me for a moment .... but: figure with the same name as jobname are
not handled; this is because it can introduce loops [think of incluidng
left.pdf into left.tex that itself becomes an left.pdf] Here we always give
figs a nice prefix, like f-left so that we can also 'dir' them comfortable. 

So, it's a feature -)

Wow, I didn't know that -- or if I did, I forgot it.  I guess context
documentation should be sure to impress upon the user that they should
avoid having figures with the same base name as their document.

oh, then so far you never fell into the trap -)

Well, i added this quite some time ago when i found out that having figure
names matching the jobname can be very dangerous (esp for your picture). I
can be more liberal some day [say only pdf als eps/ps or so], but for the
moment it's for all suffixes.
