CON refers to console – if you are a DOS oldie, you’d remember the copy con command. however, it is possible to create a folder named CON. just google for it.
Its not a bug. Its a test feature.
It is a known bug with UTF8 encoding. Any notepad file with 4-3-3-5 letters will produce the same effect. Try the same thing in vista (or save the file in a different encoding).
Enjoy

And there are many more such system variables like NUM, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, etc. COM1 refers to serial port 1, LPT1 refers to parallel port 1 and so on .. Special system variables and folder names share the same interface. So, when a folder is created with a system variable name, it will consider that the folder already exists.
