What else would you expect?
It's not possible to have two directories with the same name that only
differ in case - not on Windows.
So such a checkout would never, ever succeed. It only depends on how
this is handled: the status of the working copy clearly indicates that
there's something wrong. Which means it's working properly.

So you could checkout such directories with 1.6?
