If you must share ... do so between machines of the same platform. Or at the very least ... only edit metadata on the machine that has a case sensitive file system.
I don't share, but this library has been transferred thrice as I have upgraded to a new laptop. The last move may have introduced errors.

So yes, this could have been a cross device transcription issue of some kind.
