This also happens with Wikipedia links

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bratz_%28dolls%29#Culture_confusion

vs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bratz_%28dolls%29#Culture_Confusion

But we got this. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#edef-A

Which says

ILLEGAL EXAMPLE: 
The following example is illegal with respect to uniqueness since the two names
are the same except for case:

<P><A name="xxx">...</A>
<P><A name="XXX">...</A>

And then says

Although the following excerpt is legal HTML, the behavior of the user agent is
not defined; some user agents may (incorrectly) consider this a match and
others may not.

<P><A href="#xxx">...</A>
...more document...
<P><A name="XXX">...</A>

So it seems to be undefined behaviour.

IE6 and IE7 treats anchors as case-insensitive. Firefox and Webkit treat them
as case-sensitive.

Since the first example above is illegal then it'd make sense to allow them to
be case-sensitive (also, because paths are evil, but that has nothing to do
with this issue).
