dired-do-query-replace stops when it sees a match with different case

I just encountered a variation on the bug reported in Matt's post
(below).   (The bug reported by Matt is indeed fixed in 21.2.1, but
this variation is not).  To reproduce, using version 21.2.1
(i386-msvc-nt5.0.2195):

Create two files 1.txt and 2.txt:

[mlm query-replace-test]$ cat 1.txt
foo
[mlm query-replace-test]$ cat 2.txt
Foo

In a dired buffer, mark 1.txt and 2.txt.
Do 'Q Foo RET Bar RET'

It reports: "Replaced 0 occurrences"
without continuing to 2.txt.  Pressing M-, to try to resume just makes
emacs say "Replaced 0 occurrences" again.

Is there a workaround for this?  If not, can someone recommend a good
multi-file search and replace tool?  I was hoping emacs would save me
from Visual C++'s lack of multi-file search and replace...

"GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-*-nt5.0.2195) of Tue Jun 13 2000 on buffy"

dired-do-query-replace stops when it sees a match with different case
than specified in FROM, and won't continue with M-,.

To repeat:

Create two files 1.txt and 2.txt:

[mlm query-replace-test]$ cat 1.txt
Foo
FOO
[mlm query-replace-test]$ cat 2.txt
Foo

In a dired buffer, mark 1.txt and 2.txt.
Do 'Q Foo RET Bar RET'
When it stops on the first line of 1.txt, do 'y' to replace the first
match.

Then it reports: "Replaced 0 occurrences"
without continuing to 2.txt.  Pressing M-, to try to resume just makes
emacs say "Replaced 0 occurrences" again.

Thanks, this is already fixed in Emacs 21.1, released just a few days 
ago.
