I don't think this is a problem with ubuntu, but a limitation with the FAT32 filesystem, since it's a case insensitive filesystem.

Sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case-sensitive

That page also lists that FAT32 is a partial case preserving filesystem, so it isn't a fully case preserving file system.

I can confirm that this behaviour occurs on 9.04.
