I fixed the recently introduced error in Emacs master (c0c79b0b4).

I may have mislead you to think there was also a problem in Emacs 29,
but there isn't.  Completion styles obey completion-ignore-case,
not case-fold-search directly.

Furthermore, while the flex completion style does obey it, fido-mode
(which is a "Fake Ido" extension) always sets completion-ignore-case
to t by default.  There are ways to get around it, admittedly
not very practical, but not terrible either.

  (defun joaot/minibuffer-setup-hook ()
    (setq-local completion-ignore-case nil))
  (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook #'joaot/minibuffer-setup-hook t)

João
