It's a bug. Likely an unintended side-effect of the recently added behaviour that enables Finder to ignore leading zeros when displaying numbered files in order. File a report on it.

tell application "Finder" to "shotName_0001.tif" is in name of every file

Bearing in mind, of course, that the containment test here is subject to AS's own considering/ignoring rules. Or use System Events, which still does it right (though it's not without other problems).
