That's not a bzr bug.  That's a FAT filesystem flaw.

FAT is not truly case-sensitive, so you can't store two files 
which differ only in capitalization.  The driver tries to emulate  
case sensitivity with various heuristics (which you can choose by 
editing the mount options), but there are still times when it can 
be a problem.  For details, look for "shortname" in the output of 
"man mount".
