Yes, that was added because host/nodenames by definition *are* case
insensitive. DNS, /etc/hosts, etc.
If you use "VM name == hostname" as a convention, even though VM names
themselves are case sensitive in VMware, you have effectively adopted a
policy that makes them case insensitive.
Names that differ just in case thus need to be considered a policy
violation; the stonith agent probably should detect and warn about this
(perhaps in the monitor?).
