I believe the problem was more general, but I no longer have the bug report that indicates this. If a user calls find-file on a non-existent file with an upper case character anywhere in the filename, then saves the buffer and uses compile-mode etc to jump to some position within the buffer, previous to that change Emacs would create a new buffer rather than using the existing one. The report that Juanma sent dates back to Nov 2001. The change was not installed then because the fix seemed too brute force for the problem described. It was not until a year later when the above behavior was reported that I installed the change.
