My question to the list is, can this functionality be added in a way that doesn't adversely effect developers who won't use it, but helps us PostgreSQL users and anyone else who might find it useful? Judging from my searches on the subject, it's not an uncommon impedance for PHP/PostgreSQL users.

Oracle columns names are similarly case insensitive - unless the table was created with quoted column names. Users can see similar issues. I think a PHP solution is more likely to need to be handled the way PDO does, see PDO::CASE_xxxx. However, what about creating an RFC on the wiki to share what you have done and found.
