That is a bit odd, I thought that should have worked. But:

This makes sense. So much so that perhaps it could be added to the
core spec-tpd.tex file.

For now however, putting that line in your local cont-sys.tex is
probably  better, otherwise you will have to remember to reapply
your fix at each context update you do.

You could consider using a case-insensitive file system to store
your data on, and lowercasing all entity input to ConTeXt, but
that is more clumsy than the extra \definefileinsertion-s.
