How did you end up with that?
font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search is not a customize variable, so you
should not set it with custom-set-variables.

Clearly not a desirable behavior, indeed, but the above var setting is
clearly a pilot error. Of course
(setq-default font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search t)
would give the same result, but I'd also argue that it'd be
a pilot error.
