After looking closer to this issue... it is a more general issue with file 
systems that change/mangle the filenames. The wget test suite will likely 
break on many such file systems. On (v)fat (e.g. 8.3 mangling), on hpfs also 
due to lowercasing (see 'man mount' on linux). Also ntfs with certain 
settings. 

Anyone wants to implement a list of filesystems to switch off certain tests ?

I personally see this a low priority issue.
But I would happily accept any patches addressing it.
