This bug is below WebKit in the framework stack.  The issue is that the web
server is returning a generic MIME type (probably application/octect-stream) so
content sniffing occurs to determine the correct file extension to use when
saving the file.  A disk image using bzip2 compression is structured in such a
way that appears to be a standard bz2 file from the initial portion of the data
received.  This leads to the framework responsible for the sniffing to
determine that it is a .bz2 file rather than a .dmg.

<http://www.unsanity.org/archives/mac_os_x/my_dmg_is_bwoken_after_download.php>
has a bit more information about this issue, as well as providing a server-side
workaround for the issue.  I'm rather surprised that Adobe apparently does not
test their Mac OS X downloads in Safari.  They surely would have noticed this
issue had they done so.

Closing as INVALID as the bug is not in WebKit.  It is already in Radar, though
I don't recall the number off the top of my head.
