Saving a multi-layered image to a .png results in a .png file with the data of a .pdn one

First off: Yes, I am using the latest version: 5.0.12.

Context for how I found this bug:

I found a weird discrepancy in the icons.png file in the files of Minecraft: Java Edition. It's that there is a duplicate version of an armor bar icon (as shown in image 1). So I made a version of it in an ugly but effective resource pack to easily tell which one is showing or not.image.png.cccfa1f0f742b32a36cacca73225e49f.png

Then I loaded the resource pack only to find that it shows up as a missing texture. (as shown in image 2)

How did I know that, as the title says, saves the .png file as a .pdn one? I renamed the fake .png to a .pdn file and Windows finally recognized it. (it showed an actual image rather than the Photos app's image icon.)

I just saved a multi-layered image to a .png, and this time it asked me to "flatten" the image. This seems to be some kind of one-off, very hard to reproduce bug, if it even is one at all.

edit: fixed a typo

It's not really a bug, and it's not difficult to reproduce. @toe_head2001 just told you exactly what leads to it.
