I cannot duplicate this with Ruby 1.8.5 (one click) or 1.8.6 (VC++ 8)
on Windows XP SP2.

irb(main):002:0> VERSION
=> "1.8.6"
irb(main):003:0> FileUtils.touch('test.exe')
=> ["test.exe"]
irb(main):004:0> File.exists?('test')
=> false
irb(main):005:0> File.exists?('test.exe')
=> true
irb(main):006:0> File.delete('test')
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - test
        from (irb):6:in `delete'
        from (irb):6
irb(main):007:0> File.delete('test.exe')
=> 1
