That is not correct. You can do this in HFS+ (I have many folders in which
there are case-sensitive filename conflicts) so long as you do not open
the
folder in the Finder.
Hm...
[blue:~] am% cd /tmp
[blue:/tmp] am% mkdir hello
[blue:/tmp] am% ls -ld ?ello
drwxr-xr-x 2 am wheel 24 Sep 4 21:24 hello
[blue:/tmp] am% mkdir Hello
mkdir: Hello: File exists
[blue:/tmp] am%
That's my HFS+-disk. /tmp is not accessible from the Finder, so it
certainly didn't mess around here.
