Yes, for properties of type:Page.

Also a number of other features are case insensitive for property names 
of Type:Page.  For example, a search by property,
http://www.techpresentations.org/Special:SearchByProperty?property=Presenter+ComPaNY&value=SiX+ApaRT

You mentioned before that in an inline query, an object page name is 
case insensitive, and filed bug 
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11689
I also found the property to display is case insensitive. For example:
  [[Presenter Company::Six ApaRT]] | ?PrESenter_ComPANY
works.

In your bug Markus commented:
"I have now changed all SMW created database tables to use "binary" for 
their VARCHAR fields, just as MediaWiki does. This should force 
collations to be case-sensitive on new installations. ... "

Did you update your installation with `php SMW_refreshData.php -vpf  && 
  php SMW_refreshData.php -v`as he suggested in the bug to make this DB 
change?
If so, then I guess these are a different bug/bugs.

Interestingly, I found the property name and a subject page name *are* 
case sensitive:
   [[Presenter ComPaNY::Six Apart]]
doesn't work, nor does
   [[OpeNING the Social Graph]]


NOTE that all this is only true for a property of Type:Page.  Properties 
of a different type like Type:URL or Type:date are case-sensitive in 
these situations.

It does seem different to MediaWiki's capitalization "style" (I can't 
really call it a rule because it's a mess), which is the first letter 
can be upper- or lower-case, but in the rest of the title capitalization 
matters.
(I hope techpresentations.org runs a stock SMW, because I tested all 
these on your Web site ;-) ).

A workaround might be to search for specific text on your wiki using a 
case-sensitive search engine.
