It could.  In addition to the workaround we were discussing, your new 
description of
the problem leads me to believe that making sure to commit your remove ('cvs rm
<file>', 'cvs ci <file>') before you do the add should remove the file from the 
local
CVS/Entries and allow the new file to be added with the recased name.
