If a file named Foo.js already exists on the file system and you attempt to fs.writeFileSync('foo.js', data), the lowercase foo.js name is not honored. This can and has been causing issues. See Related Issues below.

That's how file names work on Windows. It's not unique to node, you will find that other runtimes and programming languages work the same. It's not even unique to Windows - HFS+ on OS X works the same way.

Closing, not a node bug.
