This is perfectly valid on NTFS and that's how it must work on Linux.

If you want case insensitive support then you may export the mounted NTFS
volume via Samba then mount it. This is the way Linux file systems support
__SAFE__ case insensitivity for Windows clients.

No plan to support case insensitivity in ntfs-3g because Linux is case
sensitive and if this isn't kept then many programs stop working properly
and one could very easily experience serious data loss.
