This is correct - no way to autofill both versions, and the autofilling
sometimes gets you the wrong thing. This we can fix easily enough.

This bug has nothing to do with Firefox developers deciding we hate
case-sensitive passwords - you can read the entire rationale in bug
447788. Some sites were "broken" before that change, and that change
fixed them. Now other sites are broken, and we should fix those too.
