AFAICT nautilus arranges items correctly: it uses the current locale's
method to sort the items. You probably haven't set the LC_ALL or LANG
environment variables, so they default to "C" (or "POSIX" ?) and without
a specified locale all posix tools sort case-sensitive. Try to set
LC_ALL to "en_US", "en_US.UTF8" or whatever you like and start nautilus
within this environment. For me this works with nautilus 2.4.1 and the
locale "de_CH.UTF8".
