I can't see Windows/DOS differentiating or even being aware. In my experience usually a variable is set (often called dirty) which tells the main program that a change has been made.
I admire Calibre and it's Developer and his co-developers and supporters(of which I am one) etc, but find a bit of disparity between the open source and multi function/open mindset attitude and the blackbox/condescending/don't peek approach.
It is like giving a chainsaw operator a fork and telling them not to use it in case they stab themselves in the chin. Why provide the functionality and belittle those who use it.
Calibre users are in one way a small community and discouraging learning an experimentation may make it easier for those who see the same old questions but does not necessarily return long term benefits and growth.
Not meaning to be offensive here and hopefully I wasn't

You half answered your own question
The Metadata is now correct, then it adjusts the file name
, but nothing happens if all that changed is the case,
Because there is no difference as far as Win/DOS is concerned .
Now, if you ran Linux, case is sensitive and changes (Beware, the Multi-boot. I really screwed the works checking the integrity of my WIN Calibre Library...The case was all wrong to Linux
