Yes, same on my machine.

I think this problem is specific to alternative config files (I've got a
".bashrc" for primary computer, ".bashrc-cygwin" for Windows,
".bashrc-android" for Android, and so on.

Could the default auto-mode-alist entry be tweaked to include any file with
".bashrc" as a prefix?
