I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all.
This has happened to me too, with just a few odd files - also 
happened the other way round where Logic songs became a different 
file type. Computers do not work perfectly all the time!  :-(

You could do a few things:
1 - Restore from backup
2 - Change the file extensions back to .exs (assuming they are now different)
       You can do this one by one or use a batch file-type converter 
app (like xFiles)

Also, report this to Apple - maybe they can fix it in a new version 
of Logic. (What version are you using by the way?)

Regards - Colin
