Yup. This is easy to test using any new arbitrary symbol. Here's what I just
did in my Message window:

x = #USEALLUPPERCASEFORTHISTEST
put symbol("usealluppercaseforthistest")
-- #USEALLUPPERCASEFORTHISTEST

put symbol("butwhataboutlowercase")
-- #butwhataboutlowercase
y = #BUTWHATABOUTLOWERCASE
put y
-- #butwhataboutlowercase

So the first entry in the symbol table "sticks" and so your letter casing
may not match expectations.
