I think I get it. Is this an accurate summary?

fat: Mitigate the lack of UTF-8 case folding
FAT has to convert between Linux filenames ('iocharset' encoding,
should be UTF-8 today) and native filenames (UTF-16 for long names,
'codepage' encoding for short names). And it has to do case
folding in multiple encodings. Unfortunately Linux doesn't
implement case-folding for UTF-8, resulting in inconsistent name
lookup behaviour as shown in bug #833238.
The 'utf8' option makes FAT assume the Linux filename encoding is
UTF-8, regardless of the 'iocharset' encoding. Enabling this and
setting iocharset=ascii mitigates the problems by enabling case-
folding for the ASCII subset.
Make that the default by enabling FAT_DEFAULT_UTF8 and setting
FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET to "ascii".
Ben.
