Despite the forbidden second "=" it works for me
in the browser, mozilla, pdf browser plugin, both AR5 and AR7/Linux.
Are you sure, that the target name is "Page=12"?
Look into the pdf file, the /Names array should contain the
string "(Page=12)".

Again upper/lowercase issues:
* in parameters, upper- and lowercase does not matter:
  #PAGE=... #page=... #pAgE=... should be the same.
* in values of nameddest, AR differentiates between upper- and
  lowercase: #nameddest=page.12 and #nameddest=Page.12 are different.
* hyperrefs writes lowercase page anchors: page.12

nameddest has nothing to do with pages. It refers to named
anchors, hyperref sets a lot of them:
  At the beginning: Doc-Start
  \section --> section.1
  equation --> equation.1
  page anchor --> page.1
