It's an old problem, we had similar discussions about v1:

http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2002-02/0003.shtml

In v1 "replace" is "delete" then "add", the server implements this and
the clients rely on it. When the client is case-insensitive that makes
some adds into replacements even though the server doesn't identify them
as such.
