I just tried NTFS-3G on a thumbdrive, and I was able to create a file that differed only by case from another. Then something got corrupted.
Could you please elaborate what you did and what kind of corruption happened?
We are doing very exhaustive testing (http://ntfs-3g.org/quality.html) before all public driver releases and we're not aware of any corruption problem, nor we have been reported using the latest driver, version 1.2412.
The only issue I can imagine is if the thumbdrive wasn't properly unmounted before removal. This can cause I/O errors like described at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#ioerror
NTFS is case preserving and case sensitive in the NTFS POSIX filename space what NTFS-3G uses. This may confuse some Windows applications but unfortunately there isn't anything we could do about it, because exactly the same thing happen when one uses the Microsoft NTFS driver to do the same. No difference. More at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#posixfilenames1
