I don't know about a driver fix, but it should be easy
to use a wrapper to get around the problem.

Assuming your config scripts step through the file
system like

for file in `find /mnt/iso-9660-fs/ -type f -print`; do
    # foo $file
    ...
done

you could patch it with

for file in `find /mnt/iso-9660-fs/ -type f -print`; do
    file=${file%.}	# strip trailing period

    # foo $file
    ...
done

hope this helps,
