More to the point, the windows version of vim 6.4 doesn't do
this, either. So there is some code in there somewhere that
knows about case-wacky-pseudo-sensitive file systems (OK, it
probably just has #ifdef WIN32 around the old method, but
still...).

P.S. It might be possible to come up with a workaround using
some trickery within VIM (e.g., do an ls on the dirname
of % via event hook when you open a new file and either
rename % somehow or hook into the file write event).
