An Ido user can probably help more (I don't use it), but looking quickly in ido.el I don't see anything special regarding .org or .txt files. What happens when you turn off ido-mode and use regular file-name completion (`C-x C-f ... TAB')? Do you see .org and .txt files as candidates? If so, then yes, it is Ido-specific. If not, then perhaps something has changed `completion-ignored-extensions' so that it includes ".org" and ".txt". Check: `C-h v completion-ignored-extensions'.
