That's because you have 'ignorecase' set (check with :set ic?
including the question mark).

The best fix is to include \C in the search pattern. It can go
anywhere, for example just before the final slash at the end.

I have not followed this thread, but :g// works like this:
First, Vim notes all lines where a hit occurs, then, Vim returns
to the beginning and performs the operation on the first hit,
then the next, etc. That is, it will not move to the end of the
filtered lines.

I see a couple more messages about the issue. If it's not
resolved soon, please reply to this with a brief statement of
what you last tried (don't rehash the history), and what you
would like it do.
