You will find the clue in mc.ext. The files you are having trouble with
 are named as if they were 'man' (software manual) files. Try Shift-F3
 (or Shift-F1 if that fails) to view the file raw.

Why it affects F4 I do not know.

Yes, thanks !
I'll avoid FileNames = *.*.*
It seems that I was wrong F4 doesn't have a problem.
That's how I was able to confirm that the contents was OK.
By changing the FileName F3 even allows to see the binary,
incase there are invisible chars.

BTW I hate the man 'format': with wastefull LH-margins - for pencil-notes.
And absurd lineBreaks like "re-
sult...." !!
