You're right, ... but in that page it says:
The only difference between the following two CASE expressions is that the x
expression is evaluated exactly once in the first example but might be
evaluated multiple times in the second:
CASE x WHEN w1 THEN r1 WHEN w2 THEN r2 ELSE r3 END
CASE WHEN x=w1 THEN r1 WHEN x=w2 THEN r2 ELSE r3 END
So, my understanding is that the second CASE (for my example) should give the
same result as the first CASE.

Looks perfectly valid. "expr" can be any expression, including logical
ones such as "a < 10". Logical expressions in SQLite are just like any
other expressions and evaluate to 0 or 1. For example, it is perfectly
legal to
SELECT a.a < 10 FROM a
