Two things:

*) JP did fix an issue wrt regex pattern matching on file extension
recently.

*) there was a bug in kicadpcb format loading, that was only recently
fixed.  If you loaded that board type and saved it, your board file thru
hole pads were damaged.  No longer a concern with very new pcbnew. Fix was
in a commit I made recently, could check the log to get exact version at
which fix came in.

Suggest using newest pcbnew testing, and converting, ie save as, again.

I used Save-As in PCBNEW to save in the .kicad_pcb format - this file looks
good, and I deleted the .brd file. Now though, the .kicad_pcb file doesn't
show in the project tree. KiCad also doesn't try and open the .kicad_pcb
file either, it warns me that the .brd file doesn't exist yet.
