Yes; I block all dot files by default on my webservers, and ran into a recent problem where a particular site used Server Side Includes (SSI) to reference ".lastupdate" files via "#include virtual" statements. The site stopped working when moved under my webserver, due to the SSI invoking a full lookup on the URI, which was blocked due to the dot-file restriction.
