One thing I'd like somebody to check: what _does_ happen with OS X and NFS
(OS X as a client, not server)? In particular:

 - Is it suddenly sane and case-sensitive?

Yes. Similarlty with UFS partitions. After much grief with
case-insensitivity on OSX I reinstalled the OS on a UFS partition,
only to find that most 3rd party apps can't cope with case-sensitive
FSs (this was a while ago, I hope it's gotten better).

 - Does the NFS client do any unicode conversion?

Don't know, unfortunately. I suspect both bits of mangling happen in
the fs code.
