I don't see in which sense this is an example.  After all, what harm would
there be to use sh-mode for files named .BASH_PROFILE or .ZLOGIN ?
Or even .bAsH_PROfilE ?

I think the two solutions aren't mutually exclusive.  I agree with Jason
that it would make a lot of sense to use a fallback where we try
auto-mode-alist a second time with case-fold-search set to t if the first
time didn't turn up any match.
