I am confused. num:nil just means that section titles will not be
numbered. It has nothing to do with links, AFAIK.

What about [[Link][link]]? Check out how we do it in
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.org (rendered as
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html).

Judging from your example, I am not sure if it is an actual problem with
Org mode. I am still to see a use case when case-insensitivity would be
useful. Now, I am inclined to fix the docstring (and possibly the
manual), clarifying about case-sensitivity of the internal links.
