It does so for allcaps filenames that on drives that are configured as  
'halfSensitive'. Currently the
default is IIRC halfSensitive and one can simple set it to behave as  
'full case sensitive' by adding
a colon ':' sign to the end of the path the drives is configured to in  
the aranym config file.

 (getHostFilename method)

ext2fs is a full case sensitive filesystem just like any other ext2  
implementation and has no reason
to manipulate the filename case.
