Yes, I can verify. My feeling is that
a) the fast-export should generate the rename the other way around.
   Would that be feasable ?
   Or generate a real rename ?
  (I'm not using fast-export or import myself)

b)  As a workaround, does it help if you manually set core.ignorecase false ?

c)  Does it help to use git-hg-remote ? (could be another workaround)

And no,  50906e04e8f48215b0 does not include any test cases.
(try git show 50906e04e8)

This is only a short answer, I can prepare a longer answer about ignorecase the next days.
