No. This flag is not inherited. Someone has to set it for created 
directories. It is easy to confirm: take a directory not under MSYS or 
cygwin control (because it is mounted by MSYS or cygwin), set the flag, 
then create directories. They all will have caseSensitivInfo disabled.

Python itself isn't the problem here. It is MSBuild.exe. For some reason 
this tool lowercases sometimes whole paths to files included. This does 
not matter if case sensitivity is disabled. It matters if case 
sensitivity is enabled! There is no reason MSBUild.exe does it. But it 
is done for some paths (as someone else pointed out).
