Description overjive 2011-08-14 04:05:40 UTC 
Same as bug 5094 which is listed as "invalid".  See capital vs. lower-case "e" in this example:

Comment 1 overjive 2011-08-14 04:14:29 UTC 
Shifting the "e" to lower case fixes the problem.  Not satisfactory since need for lower case is not apparent.
Comment 2 John Du Hart 2011-08-14 04:39:23 UTC 
It doesn't matter that it's a redirect, all titles in MediaWiki are case sensitive (Except the first character, that's forced uppercase).

See this example http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Johnduhart/LinkTest

If there's any documentation that states that it should act in the way you describe please share.

I think I understand:

A link to "hello There" would be valid, making it seem case-insensitive.

Thanks
