Sounds like the hash algorithm table for filenames doesn't take case
into account, so that your new file (the same name, ignoring case,
as the old file) got shoved straight into the attic. (Probably worth
checking that.) I don't see how this wouldn't be a bug.

(Note that I haven't even glanced at the code.)
