This:

"Did not find any relation named "public.some_idIds"."

to me indicates it did look for the properly cased name.

That is arguably a really bad error message, because it puts those quotes there whether needed or not. if you put the quotes in there, you get:

Did not find any relation named "public."some_idIds"".
