GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 145414
Saving playlists doesn't mention what extension to use at all.

Totem is quite happy to save a playlist without any extension. If it does, it will subsequently fail to load. The error given when doing so actually made me think that Totem didn't want to open playlists via the normal means of loading a video and that I had to load then using a (missing) button on the playlist dialog.
It's actually a bug in the shared-mime-info package that it's not able to recognise the playlist file if it doesn't have a right suffix. See http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=838
