--I'll try to see if mysql is running in a case insensitive locale, and

You might also want to check the variable type of the page title in the page table.  The variable type itself could be set to case insensitive, which an extension may have done.  For example, here's a web page I found describing how to set the Mediawiki DB to allow case insensitive titles and what it describes may be something to look for in case one of your extensions did the same.
