I proposed the change on emacs-devel on April 26th 2008 and Stefan gave it the go-ahead:

This changes long-standing standard Emacs behavior. It should be reverted.
Well, that's a matter of opinion. The default value of `completion- ignore-case' is nil for all other systems bar MS-Windows. I agree with you that buffer names are another case, in addition to filenames, where MS-Windows systems should do case-insensitive completion. I think that Emacs on MS-Windows has historically had an exceptional default value of t for `completion-ignore-case' precisely to handle filename and buffer name completion and that its effect on other completions was largely coincidental. I would like to avoid all completion being case-insensitive on MS-Windows.
