Is it the intended behavior? (I hope not)
Yes, it is. I wrote a new section in the Kpathsea manual explaining it
(Casefolding search), besides my various previous messages.
To turn it off in your case, there are two choices:
1) set the config/envvar texmf_casefold_search to 0;
2) specify TEXMFHOME with a leading !! in texmf.cnf, that is, using ls-R
(thus requiring you to run mktexlsr when any files are added or removed,
thus probably better not to do this.)
Well, there is 3) renaming your case-conflicting file, but you already
knew that.
You can thank Apple and its users for inflicting this pain. --best, karl
