This also describes the behavior of a normal Bash shell on OS X with a normal HFS+ case-insensitive filesystem: tab completion corrects the case of the last typed component only (assuming you've enabled case-insensitive tab completion in the shell, which I have by writing "set completion-ignore-case on" in my ~/.inputrc).

However, this particular case difference doesn't seem to cause problems for Subversion on OS X:

tmp $ svn --version|head -n 2
svn, version 1.7.7 (r1393599)
   compiled Nov 9 2012, 20:33:44
tmp $ svnadmin create repo
tmp $ svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
Checked out revision 0.
tmp $ cd wc
wc $ svn mkdir APA
A APA
wc $ cd apa
apa $ svn mkdir banan
A banan
apa $ ..
wc $ svn ci -m x
Adding APA
Adding APA/banan

Committed revision 1.
wc $

There are of course several other case difference problems for Subversion on OS X.
