Right: it should reply "The user already exists" or something similar.

This would depend from the implementation: I guess that we should
simply ignore non lower-case users and use only the uppercase.
do you mean to say: "... simply ignore non lower-case users and use
only the LOWERcase."?
we could also generate an error when inconsistencies are found.
Otherwise the implementation should take care on how to disambiguate 2
users with the same name but different capitalization.
I think we can't do more than adding a comment over <ignoreCase> telling
the user: "keep in mind that your existing userbase may become invalid
if you change this".
ok, fine.
