Sorry, it seems case sensitivity is on when parsing a JSON string, so this is only true if you call the SetModeCaseSensitive() explicitly, or if your AA comes from a parsed JSON string.

For example:

BrightScript Debugger> test2 = ParseJSON("{" + Chr(34) + "test" + Chr(34) + ": false}")
BrightScript Debugger> ?test1

BrightScript Debugger> ?test2
test: false

BrightScript Debugger> test2.Append(test1)
BrightScript Debugger> ?test2
Test: true
test: false
