Ok, I can confirm that this is not reproducible using your above test case.
The missing variable appears to be that I am mounting my partition using
-oiocharset=utf8.  If I use -oisocharset=iso8859-1 (the default), the mount
behaves in a case-insensitive manner, but of course I don't want filenames
to be shown as ISO8859-1 in userspace..

Cheers,
