This is absolutely normal, see http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/non-gnu/rdiff-backup/FAQ.html#case_insensitive 
.

Anyway I agree with you that there should be an easy way of restoring  
the original filenames, without using rdiff-backup. It would be pretty  
trivial to write a script that can rename the files back to their  
original names, so can anyone do that? Unfortunately I do not have the  
time at the moment, and besides my backups are on ext3 filesystems, so  
I won't need that :).
