Maybe they are lower case in your setup (Windows?), they very much are
in mine.
emacs-22.2 -Q -fn lucidasanstypewriter-12
clearly shows that arguments in upper case.

And help-argument-name is not distinguishable from the default case in
that setup:
Face: help-argument-name (sample) (customize this face)
Documentation: Face to highlight argument names in *Help* buffers.
Defined in `help-fns.el'.
Family: unspecified
Width: unspecified
Height: unspecified
Weight: unspecified
Slant: unspecified
Foreground: unspecified
Background: unspecified
Underline: unspecified
Overline: unspecified
Strike-through: unspecified
Box: unspecified
Inverse: unspecified
Stipple: unspecified
Font or fontset: unspecified
Inherit: unspecified
lucidasanstypewriter used to be (maybe still is) the
one of the more popular fixed width fonts.
So this change had absolutely no effect on everyone using that font
(and maybe other fonts too).
Probably with the changes in the font backend something in that code
changed, and not the help-argument-name appears the same, but the
arguments are downcased now, that is what made this old change apparent
now.
The face is not a problem, but it is just odd to downcase the text.
I do consider this a bug, but if everyone likes that as a default, then
so be it.
