That's not intuitively correct. Why is that the expectation?

These characters are used as variables in math formulas. They represent distinct variables.

How will we distinguish that case from when they are used in genuine Greek text?

No idea. It's still a bug, though.

I don't see anything actionable here. All letters have different meanings in math depending on case, so it doesn't makes sense to nitpick on delta.
Consider "o(N)" and "O(N)" - would that be a reason to claim that case insensitive search for "o" shouldn't match "O"? Delta is no different.
