No. It wouldn't.

Currently when you save a GPX layer and enter "test", then josm makes 
test.osm from this and later complains about invalid extension. The patch 
now adds "osm" for OSM and "gpx" for GPX files. As this is only the 
default extension, adding gpx for saving an OSM file is still possible. 
The result will be a GPX file? What's the purpose of this?

This is actually what the bug report really is about - saving GPX, not 
OSM.

Additionally I introduced a title line, so the dialog now tells you, 
whether you save GPX or OSM (Because until I researched for this bug I 
did not know, that selecting a different layer affects saving). And the 
bug clearly tells me I'm not the only one.
