Could you clarify a couple of things…
Are you typing the file name into the Save panel, or just pressing Enter to use the pre-filled name? What are the settings for "canSelectHiddenExtension" and "isExtensionHidden"? What is the behavior on 10.8.3?
I seem to recall noticing a change in behavior in some system version, where the save panel no longer added the extension when it was missing. This was either on the initial file name pre-filled in the panel, or on entering an extension-less name when the checkbox indicating "isExtensionHidden" was unchecked, or something like that. But my recollection on this is very hazy, sorry.
Does it make any difference if you use the UTI for PDF files instead of the literal string "PDF" for the extension? We already know that the powerbox Save panel doesn't implement everything the regular one does, and it may have some limitations for non-UTI type strings.
