Research direction

Start by checking superseding issue bpo-10908, then read the attached test.py, test.cmd, test.out, trace.diff, and trace_ignore_case_fix.patch. Run the supplied test script and compare its output with the expected behavior described by the superseding issue; the work is done only when that behavior is covered by a passing regression test.
