There is indeed a Safari bug that results in files downloading incorrectly (usually with the name "FSDownloadContent"). Adding the extension .azw will usually solve the problem, after which the Mac will recognize the file properly. And, as rashkae notes, switching browsers usually solves the problem as well.
