Yes, Qt 4.7.0.

Could you test with a list of strings that contains no (entirely)
lower-case entries? So we can determine if this is actually a problem of
case, or of selecting the wrong item ("huge" instead of "Huge")?
As you already saw in the code, the getItem function is basically a
direct wrapper around the native Qt function QInputDialog::getItem. So
unless something weird happens in passing data to/from scripting, this
seems very much like a Qt bug (if any) to me.
