A combination of things, including aliases. Those and locale settings.

I suffered the same problem, and it turned out to be the LANG setting
(locale-related).
Putting "unset LANG" in my .bashrc file set things back the way I like
them: case-sensitive, and paying attention to the leading dot.
Hopefully, this will help you as well.

Thanks, but I already have dinner on the way.
