dired-do-query-replace stops when it sees a match with different case

dired-do-query-replace stops when it sees a match with different case
than specified in FROM, and won't continue with M-,.

To repeat:

Create two files 1.txt and 2.txt:

[mlm query-replace-test]$ cat 1.txt
Foo
FOO
[mlm query-replace-test]$ cat 2.txt
Foo

In a dired buffer, mark 1.txt and 2.txt.
Do 'Q Foo RET Bar RET'
When it stops on the first line of 1.txt, do 'y' to replace the first
match.

Then it reports: "Replaced 0 occurrences"
without continuing to 2.txt.  Pressing M-, to try to resume just makes
emacs say "Replaced 0 occurrences" again.
