I think may have nailed it.

The traditional UAF facility in VMS is case-blind. but things like the
queueing system are case-preserving, regardless of DCL's parse-style
setting.

It helps to remember that "VMS" doesn't care - it's the utilities which
process the relevant data that make the difference.
