Yes.

The problem here is that you misunderstand what is the COLLECTION
argument in the case at hand.  It is *not* a table that completes
filenames as they exist in the file-system.  If you want that, then use
completion-file-name-table.  `read-file-name-internal' is a completion
table that does other things to handle substitute-in-file-name rewrite
(i.e. typically env-var expansion, $$-quoting, // and ~/ truncation);
part of that makes it that you should not put too much faith in the case
of the returned string.
