as I recall it, my versions of PS from CS2 to CC2018 always said "filename.tif', when the rawfile got opened...
",tif" can also be a raw file extension. When you use <Edit In> and open the raw file into Ps, you are getting a rendered version of the photo including the Lr edits that still carries the raw file name until you save it. This has been normal behaviour from as far back as I can remember.
But it isn't really a TIFF, yet! It's simply in memory and hasn't been saved as a TIFF or otherwise. And try this: select a JPEG in LR and apply an LR edit, use Open In Photoshop and the setting for the rendering you've setup in preferences (in my case for a 16-bit TIFF in ProPhoto RGB). What you see in PS is just that. Close the file and don't save it, it's not anything. You are asked to Save the document and it's default is a TIFF as you asked for this, but it isn't a TIFF; not yet.
Yes of course. I just provided information, which is correct, that ".tif" CAN BE a raw format extension.

The file isn't anything but data held in memory.
OK, but that data amounts to (i.e. behaves like) what is a temporary rendered file even though it isn't as yet saved as such. Please see para 1, page 415 of Martin Evening's latest Lr book, where he says, "If you use this method to open a raw image, Lightroom will render a pixel version of the master catalog image.........."

Where does that quotation come from? I did a search but cannot find any reference to a "LR FAQ".
