The case at hand is the one Michael presented. All that is done in that code is
to pass `minibuffer-completion-table' and `minibuffer-completion-predicate' to
`all-completions'. The former happens to be `read-file-name-internal' in this
case, but the code does not impose that (it comes from `read-file-name', which
the code uses).

A priori I do not have a problem with any of that. Au contraire, I think.

That's the part that I'm not sure follows. Logically.
But I repeat that I cannot speak to the implementation, and I do not claim that
it is easy to get it right. I am only saying that file-name completion - even
with env-var expansion etc. - _should_ not change the case of file names for the
return value. It is a bug if it it does, though not a major bug.
(Again, "should" does not imply that it is easy to fix.)
I'm not sure we disagree. And I hope you can fix this eventually, even if it is
not a high priority. And I understand from your posts that this might not be
easy, file names being mixed up with env-var substitution et tout le reste.
