I did not try a non-ASCII file name; I'm not sure how to construct one that has a non-ASCII casing issue.

Perhaps use German Eszett / sharp S / Unicode LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S? The words 'Strasse' and 'Straße' are equivalent, but typically the latter is up-cased to 'STRASSE', rather than 'STRAẞE'. (Indeed, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S was only added to Unicode in version 5.1.) In turn, 'STRASSE' is typically down-cased to 'strasse'. Further, even the latest version of Unicode notes that SpecialCasing.txt doesn't handle this situation:
