Not really a bug.  The command is truly ambiguous because
".1" could be parsed as either the number one tenth or the
string concatenation operator followed by the integer 1.
Notice that
   print "A" . 1
works as expected because now there is a space between the
dot and the 1, removing the ambiguity.
