Technically, this is a user error, since . (dot) is not a valid character inside user-defined symbols. Clojure does mostly take the stance that it is a sharp tool and you are allowed to cut yourself, should you really want to.
See http://clojure.org/reader for reference, especially these two sentences : "Symbols begin with a non-numeric character and can contain alphanumeric characters and *, +, !, -, _, and ?" "Symbols beginning or ending with '.' are reserved by Clojure."
