Thanks for bringing up this problematic issue.  However, this issue is
not relevant to file names, at least not on MS-Windows, because
Windows doesn't consider this case conversion either:

  (file-exists-p "Straße.txt")
   => t
  (file-exists-p "straße.txt")
   => t
  (file-exists-p "STRAßE.TXT")
   => t
  (file-exists-p "STRASSE.txt")
   => nil
