Some codes (notably Fortran and C++) require a case-sensitive filesystem for
compilation and/or operation.  You can usually work around this using a
case-sensitive disk image, but it's tedious.

Does your synchronization software require you to use a different folder
name for some reason?  Your symlink solution should work, but most people
should use the same folder name.  As long as you ensure that the relative
path from the .bib file to your papers folder OR the absolute path to the
papers folder is the same on either machine, it should just work.  Since
HFS+ is case-preserving, even moving between case-sensitive and
case-insensitive filesystems should work, but I'd be less confident in that.

Under what circumstances do you need to run that?  If you encountered a
problem that trashed your file links, that would be good to know.

I guess that could happen, but I'm a bit surprised.  Do you have any
afp/smb/nfs links?  Maybe resolving the fileID first triggers this behavior;
I don't recall how that's done.
