This is not a bug in TortoiseSVN. If you were asking the developers on the
subversion mailing list, they would tell you it's a bug in Windows ;-)
In fact we are warning everybody about this Windows behaviour in our docs.
Check the following FAQ for help:

ng=en&highlight=rename

You can also install a pre-commit hook on your subversion server that
prevents you from file renames that would cause case conflicts. Check the
subversion contrib section for the script:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn-xml/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/
