Hmm, I can't confirm that. Working on Linux (Xubuntu 8.something).
Maxima 5.28.0_83_g4829495 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
using Lisp SBCL 1.0.49

Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter.
The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information.
(%i1) pathname_directory ("/tmp/foo.bar");
(%o1) /tmp/
(%i2) pathname_type ("/tmp/foo.bar");
(%o2) bar
(%i3) pathname_name ("/tmp/foo.bar");
(%o3) foo
Other Lisps (CMUCL, GCL, ECL, Clisp) also work OK.
For the record,
