First, thanks for working on this.
The explanation is a bit confusing, especially for people like me,
as it does not make it clear that there are two kinds of "paths in
the index". Files can be added to the index ("git add" and then
shown via "ls-files") and these are what we usually call "files in
the index". But there is a separate "name hash" that keeps track of
"paths the index knows about" in play, and that is what is discussed
in the description.

"file in the index" will never be ignored, period. Some paths the
index knows about, namely, directory names in name hash, may need to
be reported as ignored.
It is not clear what "list" the above "dropped from the list" refers
to. The list of paths that becomes the result of "status"?

Here is my attempt...
When enumerating paths that are ignored, paths the index knows
about are not included in the result. The "index knows about"
check is done by consulting the name hash, not the actual
contents of the index:
- When core.ignorecase is false, directory names are not in the
name hash, and ignored ones are shown as ignored (directories
can never be tracked anyway).
- When core.ignorecase is true, however, the name hash keeps
track of the names of directories, in order to detect
additions of the paths under different cases. This causes
ignored directories to be mistakenly excluded when
enumerating ignored paths.
Stop excluding directories that are in the name hash when
looking for ignored files in dir_add_name(); the names that are
actually in the index are excluded much earlier in the callchain
in treat_file(), so this fix will not make them mistakenly
identified as ignored.
