The default Users directory has a .localized file in it, which will
cause the Finder to use the system's localized name for the folder
rather than the on-disk name. So the Finder is useless for
investigating this behavior.

If the directory is on a case-insensitive HFS volume (the default), it
won't matter whether you call it "users" or "Users"; either will work.
Therefore `stat /Users` at the Terminal will not provide conclusive
results.

It will also be helpful to see what the value of $HOME is, and if it
jives with the on-disk name.
