I think this was my doing going into the 0.20.0 release. Was fixed
(convert all Type major values to all lowercase) in CVS HEAD several
weeks ago, but then never back-ported to the 0.20 branch until a few
minutes ago.

The situation as you found was that all Type values were suddenly
treated in their exact case. I just checked all of 10.2-gcc3.3 and
10.3 for any capitalized Types, and all I found was "NoSource" in
autoconf25 and automake in 10.2-gcc3.3 (both stable and
unstable). Which I just lowercase-ified.
