No, MultiViews only does extension-based negotiation. With type-maps
you can use whatever names you want. See:

You can do this with type-maps or with mod_rewrite (although with the
latter, you may need to do y9our own interpretation of the Accept-
headers).

By the way, I think your bug report is off base. The actual name of
the file on the file-system is irrelevant for the client.
