This seems like a bug. It should still be able to recognize and open
the file without the type hint, whether or not you provide a
sub-dataset suffix.
This is not a bug. This is intended. Subdatasets have a specific syntax.
Valid subdataset names are the ones reported under the SUBDATASET
metadata domain.
Our system generally relies heavily on GDAL's usually-reliable ability
to recognize file types and load anything without such hints, so
having to provide that as well will be undesirable.
This is generally true for the first level of access to a file, but once
you want a specific part (name it "variable", etc), you have to comply
with the nomenclature of each driver.
