Thanks everyone for help debugging this.

I also find that those two expressions return t on my mac, and nil on my
linux machine. This seems to be consistent with the doc string:
Return t if file FILENAME is on a case-insensitive filesystem. Return
nil if FILENAME does not exist or is not on a case-insensitive
filesystem, or if there was trouble determining whether the filesystem
is case-insensitive.
It returns t on mac as it is case-insensitive by default, presumbly
irrespective of whether the file exists.
One small suggestion for the docstring might be to remove the double
negative in the second sentence:
"is not on a case-insensitive filesystem"
could be
"is on a case-sensitive filesystem"
?
