I've been burned by this very same thing in another project and it took
me a while to figure out what was going on.

A Mac alternative is to create a case-sensitive HFS+ filesystem (e.g. a
file-backed sparse volume) and copy your Eclipse workspace there for the
refactoring work. I did what you suggested in the past but on a Linux
VM, and found it was like working in a glove box. I've got a
case-sensitive area on my Mac now for future cases where refactoring
involves files that differ only in case.
