well AFAIK, filename case-sensitivity is is a meaningful feature of all 
Operating-Systems except those starting with W* (one of which I'm typing 
this mail on ;-);

So, I would say YES, please log this finding in the bugtracker, however 
it's IMHO not a bug, but rather a feature request. (main reasoning 
behind is, that the file-extension disallow features you may configure 
in TYPO3 core also are case insensitive);
