Yeah. I started doing a comparison line by line to the Bacula listing. I
didn't finish, it got quite boring - might have to write some code! But all
I found was:

1. Bacula not listing some directories, but only if it did list something
in a subdirectory.

2. I found one file that Bacula listed but wasn't restored - I can't
remember what it was called but the name suggested it was a lock file,
which is why I thought it might be a deleted file.

According to the documentation it just makes it ignore case for pattern
matching, so seems unlikely?

Yes, funny I somehow had not noticed that before - I've added it. I presume
it won't fix this problem, tho.
