I have long since given up on using a case sensitive filesystem with Mac os x. There are just too many little things that don't work with it, and now this issue. Thanks for the I formation.

I had it myself, and you can also find a description of this in http://jcs.org/notaweblog/2009/11/11/restoring_case-sensitive_hfs_volumes_with_time_machine/ So... currently my backup of a case-sensitive filesystem cannot be restored and appears unusable: my feeling of being safe was proven false. and another gotcha : juli 25 2010 I found out the hard way that the installation DVD of Mac OSX server 10.6 (0Z691-6495-A) contains a lethal bug:
