Gert, property-names are case-sensitive but the argument for the function environment::variable-exists seem to be case-insensitive: both calls in the 'proof' deliver "true" independent from the environment although for both environments the list of environment variables contains either "SystemRoot" or "SYSTEMROOT". That is the reason for the inconsistency.
