I have poked around my key word listings, and found the following.

I have three forms of "philosophy":

philosophy
PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy

If I start entering "Phil" in any case combination, I get all three of  
these showing up in autocomplete choices.

Now, these are forms that appear in the key word field of various BT  
records. But, if I look in the groups pane of key words, there is only  
one listing:

philosophy

So it looks like BD is doing the right thing by ignoring case and  
putting all these into "philosophy" in the key word "groups view". I  
don't know why the lowercase won out; maybe it was first?

I don't know if this requires any action by developers. BD shouldn't  
change key word fields, certainly.

Maybe only showing the "canonical" listing in the autocomplete would  
help people keep their keyword listings more uniform.

But that doesn't really sound right either. Autocomplete should list  
what's there, whether it fits a certain form or not.
