Incorrect file name processing in Mercurial

I am using TortoiseHg 0.5 (which includes Mercurial 1.0.2) on Vista64. My understanding from the Mercurial Book is that Mercurial should handle file names in a case-insensitive way for a case-insensitive file system (like NTFS, which is what I am). However, I believe that my Mercurial installation is actually case sensitive:

>hg status -A foo
C foo
>hg status -A FOO
? FOO

Could this be an error in Mercurial, an error in the Mercurial TortoiseHg assembly, or is it something else? How can I perform case-sensitive file name processing using Mercurial on Windows?
