I use a combination of Linux and Windows.

The problem seems to be that if a file/folder already exists on Windows then it ignores the case of folders/file names. They way I get around this is if I have just made a change to the case of something I do the change in two stages:

- Add something to the field (name or title) (e.g. an X on the end) and OK the metadata change. The original name/folder will be removed.
- Now set things to what they SHOULD be (e.g. by removing the X) and this time the file/folder gets re-created with the correct case.

The above is only necessary if you are changing just the case and not a more fundamental change. Once you get into the habit of doing this it is not too difficult to remember and does solve the problem of making the case of folder/file on disk match the metadata.
