To test,
1) Open up muon analysis, go to grouping tab.
2) There are three buttons at the top, click load and load .xml file in the current folder.
3) This should populate the tables.
4) Now try to save without putting .xml at the end of the string. eg enter "test" as the file name and click save. (make sure the filter is set to .xml .XML)
5) Clear the grouping and try and load the file you saved.
6) You should notice that the extension .xml was automatically added and that it loaded with no problems.

It seems to work well on a Mac - used Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion).
I did notice that it does not work on Linux though. I have created a ticket on the next iteration to fix this... see #4726

I think I have found what could be causing the problem. Researching how QFileDialog works on Mac I have found a thread that seems to suggest mac doesn't add the file extension unless it is unique.
e.g. "PNG (*.png)" as opposed to "Images (*.png, *.jpg, *.bmp)"
