The comment for the mentioned patch reversion was:

  the map-to-lowercase scheme for msdos is not going to work, because other
  filesystems can contain mixed case files (ie. sgi).
  discussed with krw and halex

which makes not much sense for me, because the fix was a conditional treatment
for MSDOS filesystem.

(which also is not very transparent - i was unable to find the referenced
discussion with krw and alex, but the issue Why OpenBSD does not
yet (or anymore) have a bug tracker system is for another discussion)

For the reference, quoted URLs fixed would be:
