​Thanks for the heads up, that's great news! It bothered me that there was
no easy way to do this previously.

​I updated my patch so that dired-omit-case-fold is now a three-valued
variable which defaults to 'filesystem, and a helper function that checks
(filename-case-sensitive-p dired-directory) when this value is used.

I've added info and NEWS documentation for dired-omit-case-fold.
