Your conditions are as follows:
1. reqeusted filename is not a directory:
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

2. reqeusted filename is not a file:
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

If all above matches, put ".php" at the end:
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php

So it has nothing to do with DocumentIndex. All that is necessary is to 
request a file that does not exist on the server even if you add ".php" 
at the end:

/foo - neither file or directory, rewrite to /foo.php
/foo.php - neither file or directory, rewrite to /foo.php.php
/foo.php.php - neither file or directory, rewrite to /foo.php.php.php
...etc.

The problem is ^(.*)$ matches everything. Try ^([^.]*)$ - no dot in url
