sed seems to force UC filename on Mixed 8.3 filenames on FAT32

Sorry folks but I am going to top post for the sake of clarity. The original msg is below for reference.
Corinna, I ran the following and I attached the trace file:
E:\junk>ls > Zot.txt
E:\junk>ls
Zot.txt
E:\junk>strace -o d2u.trace dos2unix -n Zot.txt Zot.txt
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Zot.txt in Unix format...
E:\junk>ls
ZOT.TXT d2u.trace
I did further experiments.
You are correct regarding overwriting but not in a generic case (e.g. ls > Foo.txt twice preserves case) but in the specific case of "dos2unix".
If the destination file exists, case will be lost.
E:\junk>ls ---- empty folder
E:\junk>ls > Zot.txt
E:\junk>dos2unix -n Zot.txt Foo.txt ---- works first time
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Foo.txt in Unix format...
E:\junk>ls
Foo.txt Zot.txt
E:\junk>dos2unix -n Zot.txt Foo.txt ---- but not second time
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Foo.txt in Unix format...
E:\junk>ls
FOO.TXT Zot.txt
I re-ran the preceding capturing trace files which I have also attached, as in:
E:\junk>ls
d2u.trace
E:\junk>ls > Zot.txt
E:\junk>ls
Zot.txt d2u.trace
E:\junk>strace -o d2u_firsttime.trace dos2unix -n Zot.txt Foo.txt
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Foo.txt in Unix format...
E:\junk>ls
Foo.txt Zot.txt d2u.trace d2u_firsttime.trace
E:\junk>strace -o d2u_secondtime.trace dos2unix -n Zot.txt Foo.txt
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Foo.txt in Unix format...
E:\junk>ls
FOO.TXT Zot.txt d2u.trace d2u_firsttime.trace d2u_secondtime.trace
