Actually it is, you are asking Exim to make an equality check against
two values that need to have an equality neutral check done, thus use
eqi.

Actually they do compare, the information is exactly the same, just as
the RFC snippet below says, but what you asked for was an equality check
when the variables are not always 'normalized' before hand, go back to
the documentation and out of all of the variables you specified only one
has this:

"Note: The value of $local_part is normally lower cased. If you want to
process local parts in a case-dependent manner in a router, you can set the
caseful_local_part option (see chapter 15)."

Not really a 'feature' per say, but definitely not a bug according to
how those variables are to work according to the documentation. You
could also force them to be cased with the ${lc:<variable> and then
do an equality check.
