Filed a bug report against what?
I don't see a bug here with Safari, but arguably with the resolver.

So Safari isn't necessarily wrong in converting to lower case. The resolver
should return the same result whether you request 'Mercury' 'mercury', or
'MeRcuRY'.

Volume names are not well cased throughout the Apple environment.
