That has often been my experience on case-insensitive filesystems,
though I haven't catalogued in my head whether on Windows or Mac, or
whether when using FAT32 on the Mac or Unix, or whatever...still, often,
in my experience renaming a file to the same name with varying case has
no effect. Only when a file is first created can the case of its
filename be set, and after that, it cannot be changed apart from the
two-step method you mention.

I'm pretty sure you could call it a bug, but if you did, it would be a
very old one, and one I'm convinced exists on at least a few different
systems. So even if it's buggy behaviour, I think it's pretty standard
behaviour!

The real bug is the one you fixed: the one that deletes the file. That's
not good!
