Filenames not capitalized won't sync

On my last synchronization since upgrading to 8.4 several pages of files will not sync because one source has a lower case file extension; the other source has upper case. Otherwise, as far as I an tell, the files are identical. Is there a way the the file extension being upper or lower does not affect synchronization?

I set up a file time/size, Update sync.
Source was FFS instalDir
Target was C:\OUT
Ran that.
Then went back & changed file extensions of the files in the /Languages/ directory to CAPS.
A Compare at that point showed "Attribute" conflict, the CAPS vs. lowercase.
I then "touched" the files (changed their dates) in the Source /Languages/ directory.
And a Compare at this point wants to update all the Language files (.lng) - as expected, since their dates changed, with no mention of an Attribute issue.
So to me, looks to be working as expected.
FFS 8.3 returns the same results.
