You will see this behaviour quite frequently now-a-days.
There is an increasing amount of material being posted with obfuscated names of this sort that later get renamed to the correct name by the PAR process. The purpose is (I believe) to make it harder for owners of copyright material to identify posts against which they can raise DCMA takedown requests.

If you rename the files out from under Newsbin the download will fail. Newsbin will eventually rename them when it looks into repairing them.
It used to rename them as they downloaded but, this prevented you from resuming partial downloads so, I changed it to rename after the download completes and it's time to repair.
