I don't think this is a case we ever deliberately considered, so if it does work, it probably works by coincidence (though I'm not opposed to making this a supported kind of change).

That ticket was about giving the user the freedom to type port names case-insensitively, and port would recognize what the correct case was and always install and uninstall the port with the right case. Clearly something (subports?) has broken this somewhat in MacPorts 2 as described in <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31743> . And it was never clear to me that MacPorts knows what "the correct case" is if that differs between the previously installed port and the newly installed port.

Port names are case insensitive. There is no "correct case". Ensuring
that the case used in the portfile is always displayed would be nice,
but only cosmetic.
