Hi All,
Let me clear this up:
1. As Mark noted, custom tags in the current directory must be in all lower
case. This is prevent a whole bunch of disk searching when looking for
custom tags. The isn't any fast method to search a Unix file system in a
case insensitive way.
2. The custom tags in the 'system wide' directory are discovered in a
different way. At startup, ColdFusion walks the directory an creates a map
of tag custom tag names to filenames. In this case, the filename can be any
case and CF will map it to the correct (case insensitive) tag name.
It is a little confusing, but it is consistent.

Not the behaviour I have experienced.
I have custom tags which are stored in the current directory for a calling
template, but it seems they must be lowercase (as per the docs). Strangely
enough though, custom tags in the custom tags directory can be mixed case.
We have had problems when moving custom tags into the custom tags directory
when they have previously been in the current directory for a calling
template (they way we work for testing - permission reasons). When the tag
is moved from the current directory to the custom tags directory, whatever
way CF caching works, the calling template does not realise the tag has
been moved and just barfs with a cannot find module type error. This does
not happen on windows (as far as I recall anyway).
We're running CF 4.5.1 SP2 on redhat 6.2
