File shows scenario step by step

As with the older versions of Safari 4.x when file control is available on the UI user have two option to select file.
1. select file open dialog box
2. by drag and drop the file on control

While investigating HTML 5 support i have found that (Safari Version No : 5.0.1(7533.17.8) ) has added input type "file" with "multiple" option. Which allows user to select the more that one file using the file dialog. Now ideally my understanding is same as earlier so user have still two option to upload the files.
1. select file(s) using open dialog
2. drag drop file(s) from desktop/explorer to the file control

Wow (1) works great but there is issue i found in second stuff. Following are the steps
1. Dragged 5 different files from desktop and dropped on file control.
2. When processed on click of form submit operation there are correct 5 files in FileList object.
3. However i found that all the files in FileFist are same instead of different, **{BUG}**

following is code snippet i have tried.

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <input type="file" multiple="true" id="files" onchange="filechanged()"/>
</body>
<script>
    function filechanged(){
        var fs = document.getElementById("files");
        for(var x=0; x< fs.files.length; x++)
        {
            console.log(fs.files[x]);
        }
    }
</script>
</html>
