The design is to be able to handle case sensitive file names, so,
of course, there are limitations when the working tree is case
insensitive (like you will never be able to checkout foo.txt and
FOO.TXT as two separate files if both are versioned), but we
intend to make bzr usage as smooth as possible on case
insensitive file systems, so the case above is a bug IMHO.

Now one can argue whether the bug is that Larry added the two
files (which should remain possible !) or that he should have
received a loud warning instead, but let's find what happened
first :)
