2 points:

1. I'm aware the repository itself is case sensitive, but all the other svn XXXX commands are case insensitive for the WC name, so "svn upgrade" isn't working consistently with them

2. the reported error is misleading and meant spending several hours investigating why the working copy couldn't be upgraded. (Which is the reason for testing with beta releases)

If it's not a bug, then a an more appropriate error message would be an improvement.
