The problem is not just a problem of the case. The filename is very often totally different.

The new behaviour is as follows:

1) open RAR archive with video filename + .rar extension [as before]
2) try the video filename + extension (.sub, .idx or .ifo) [as before]
3) if no match, try to find a file that has the demanded extension
   and an arbitrary base name [new]

This is how the VobSub utilitiy for Windoze seems to work. And this is probably the reason for all the cocked-up RAR's around.
