Hmm. Well, the misc-case-sensitive property setting is present so there 
goes my last idea of what the problem could be :/

I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 with XFCE version 4.10 installed from the 
Xubuntu devs PPA, and it's got the same version of Thunar (1.6.3) that's 
in 13.10. So theoretically Thunar should be able to do a case sensitive 
sort on a 13.10 system since it can do it on a 12.04 one. If I have time 
tomorrow, I'll download the 13.10 live CD and see if I can't get thunar 
to sort properly on it.
