It seems like SCI treats foo.bar and foo/bar the same. Is this expected?

That's pretty weird, never saw that before :)

first noticed it in my ys usage of sci, so tried with bb and got the same thing

It is because of the mechanism to resolve custom types. Custom types are completely fake in SCI but in clojure they are host objects, like:
(ns foo)
(deftype Foo [])foo.Foo refers to a type. In SCI this type just lives in the foo namespace but to be compatible it accepts foo.Fooborkdude 2023-11-19T21:52:06.168389Z
I could lock this behavior down some more, but I would just consider it undefined behavior that you shouldn't rely on

That's fine with me. This isn't causing me any problems at the moment. Just seemed strange so I thought I'd bring it up.
