Yes, they're case sensitive, and there was a bug that they were being
improperly lower-cased. You have to fix these manually using fixed and
notfixed.
However, in this case, the version that they were marked as fixed in
is nonsensical, as it's a predecessor of the version that the bug was
filed in. In such cases, you can just close the bugs without a version
(or you can clear out the found and fixed information if you want.)
