I can change it, but there are other places in that function where
ptname is used that are not qualified with !is_vfat, so I don't know
whether this improves clarity or reduces it.

I do think fat_tolower() should not be making decisions. IMHO the
trigraph and a comment, perhaps before the vfat-only reassignment of
'name', would be clearer.
