Description:
As with procedure and trigger names, event names should
be case insensitive. That is, if I look for event AAA, I
should find event aaa.

How to repeat:
mysql> create event N on schedule every 1 second do set @a = 5;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> create event n on schedule every 1 second do set @a = 5;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Fixed in 5.1.8

It was possible to create two events which differ only in the register but case insensitive compared being the same.
