Yes.  Because of the possibility of buffer-local values taking
effect after a buffer change, it's best to bind case-fold-search
as close as possible to the search.  It would be much better if
case-fold-search were a parameter to low-level functions like
looking-at and re-search-forward, and only commands like
isearch-forward paid attention to its global value.  O Emacs API
Gods, hear my cry.

In any case, thanks for tracking this down.  I'll do a pass
through the code and bind case-fold-search closer to my searches.
