So that explains the cause, but what is the motivation behind this
behavior?  I tested saving a new file in the following apps on Windows:

DrRacket
Firefox
Notepad
WordPad
Adobe Reader
gVim

Only DrRacket changes the case of the file name that the user specifies.

Searching the bug database I see there is an open case for this:

... from 2003!

Maybe a solution is more readily available now?
