I just meant that the dir-name-hash that we computed when we loaded the index found an exact-case match here that wasn't found when called index_name_pos() and the negative "pos" didn't point to this exact-case prefix. This should not happen.

Yeah I didn't think it should be a fatal condition, but since it shouldn't happen, we can make it a BUG() and see.
