It's a problem on some (most?) Macs. A while back Apple introduced an option to format a partition as case sensitive (Wikipedia implies 10.3 introduced this feature). For a long time after the feature was introduced the factory install continued to be not case sensitive, but I don't know if that's still the case (no pun intended).
