• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
• I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
• I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
• I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
• I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

When referencing static images that are colocated with alongside the Markdown file, if the directory name has <filename>.md in it, the image can't be found.

For example, a file like file.md, with a nearby directory called file.md__static_image_assets__, will break. It attempts to find the file in the global /static folder, even if the path in file.md is like:

[some image](./file.md__static_image_assets/image.png)

This is a legal directory name, so this should work.

Reproducible demo

https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-znyym6?file=docs/file.md

Steps to reproduce

1. See the reproduction:
2. Have a folder in docs/ called file.md__static_image__assets with an image.png image in it.
3. Have a file.md in docs/ with content of something like

![my image](./file.md__static_image_assets__/image.png)

4. Verify it won't compile.

Expected behavior

Should compile.

Actual behavior

Doesn't compile, looks for the image in /static.
