Even this updated text does not say _what_ happens when
core.ignorecase is set on a case-insensitive filesystem.

That was very much on purpose. We tell users not to do that, because it is
calling for an undefined behaviour. And leaving it undefined gives us a
wiggle room to later do something better if we choose to.

Where do you tell users not to do that?  Nothing on the man page
actually says that the behavior is undefined,...

Read the messages in the thread you are responding to. It is a discussion
about how we update the documentation to say it.
