I've also experienced something weirder...
Say there are 2 folders with different contents named "Test" and "test", I
copy over folder "test" and wind up with a folder named "test" but the
contents of "Test"
The problem will go away once there is a full move to the OSX style OS which
is Unix based and thus also case sensitive...
