This happens all the time to our users.  We have the cross reference and
authenicate unregistered.  The must type their name exactly as it is in the
user form or they will on receive a Read License and Public Permissions.
 
In this case they are not guest users but unregistered users.

** 
According to the user log they are getting a Read license. We have plenty of
floating licenses available. The users in question all have at least
App-Support permissions and should be given a floating write license.

** 
You say they get a "read" license.  Could you be running out of floats and
the case sensitivity is just a coincidence? 

When this situation does happen, what permissions does the user end up with?
Is it just public or does it match the user record (hopefully the user record
has permissions other than public)?  That would tell you a little bit about
what is happening during login.

Do you allow guests? Is it possible the the users are getting logged in
as a guest. For example:
Network account: JoeUser
remedy account: joeuser
User types:        JoeUser

In this case, if you allow unauthenticated guests, then remedy would log
the user in as the guest user JoeUser instead of the the defined user
joeuser.
