I don't think so.

Maybe your HTML for the form is wrong.

Just found org.opencms.util.CmsRequestUtil#readMultipartFileItems()

|     public static List readMultipartFileItems(HttpServletRequest request) {
| 
|         if (!FileUploadBase.isMultipartContent(request)) {
|             return null;
|         }
|         DiskFileUpload fu = new DiskFileUpload();
|         // maximum size that will be stored in memory
|         fu.setSizeThreshold(4096);
|         // the location for saving data that is larger than getSizeThreshold()
|         fu.setRepositoryPath(OpenCms.getSystemInfo().getPackagesRfsPath());
|         List result = new ArrayList();
|         try {
|             List items = fu.parseRequest(request);
|             if (items != null) {
|                 result = items;
|             }
|         } catch (FileUploadException e) {
|             LOG.error(Messages.get().key(Messages.LOG_PARSE_MULIPART_REQ_FAILED_0), e);
|         }
|         return result;
|     }
