So what's to_filename then for?

It's used by setuptools to name files in a way that's unambiguous as to which parts mean what.


 Also, is it allowed for the
distribution's name to be all-lowercase, when the PyPI package name
is mixed-case?

Yes... sorry, I left that out of the above... it should be filename.lower() and project_name.lower(). Setuptools processes project names and version numbers case-insensitively.
