Description:
This issue is very similar to that reported in https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=88718, however it affects the table name reported in the foreign key, not the column name, and this does appear to be a regression with MySQL 8.0 that does not occur in version 5.7. When calling SHOW CREATE TABLE, the table name reported in a foreign key constraint comes out as all lower case, when on a case-insensitive filesystem with lower_case_table_names=2. This does not occur in MySQL server 5.7.
How to repeat:
First establish that the database is on a case-insensitive filesystem with lower_case_table_names=2:

Create two tables very similar to those mentioned in the fourth or so comment in https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=88718, except make the casing of the parent table name also mixed case:
CREATE TABLE `Table_One` (
`Id` INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
);
CREATE TABLE `table_two` (
`TABLE_ONE_ID` INTEGER,
FOREIGN KEY (`TABLE_ONE_ID`) REFERENCES `Table_One` (`Id`)
);
we can see that SHOW CREATE TABLE `table_two` reports the name of `Table_One` using all lower case:
mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE `table_two`;

Running the identical steps / configuration for MySQL 5.7 yields the correct result:
