No, it's a feature.  Thanks to M$ the filenames are case insensitive.

As for the renaming of the files from Upper to lower to begin with, can you do
it again?  Does it happen all the time?  If so, supply the output of `cygpath -s
-v -r' (pasted in the mail) and a test case showing exactly the commands you
used to move the files.
