I do "wget --no-clobber --directory-prefix=blah http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip"; followed by "unzip -o -q..." to unravel the file. For both web2py_src.zip and web2py_win.zip, I got "version". In both cases, other file names with uppercase characters were extracted normally (like "Makefile" in the src package and "NEWINSTALL" in the win package). So, files were not indiscriminately renamed to lower case. I have not tried to repeat sine the original occurrence... will try that later when I have a faster connection for the download.
