I believe case-sensitive HFS+ also mangles names.

I for one am pretty disappointed that Apple has chosen to bring across  
this undesirable behaviour from their legacy file system to a  
completely new one, when this would have been a perfect opportunity  
for them to break with the bad design decisions of the past. It's  
still pre-release, of course, so I guess there's still hope that their  
final version might not preserve this flaw.
