For some people that's a feature. It depends on your background.

Note that the reason Unix (and thus POSIX) filesystems are
case-sensitive is probably not due to a specific design choice by the
the authors of Unix back in the early '70s, but that they didn't want
the extra complexity of implementing this, especially since simplicity
of code was a design goal of the system ("New Jersey style" instead of
"MIT style").

It's not a bug in Subversion at all; it's an artifact of the file system
you are chosing to use.
