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:

+------------------------+-------+
| lower_case_table_names | 2     |
+------------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

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`;
+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table     | Create Table                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

  `TABLE_ONE_ID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  KEY `TABLE_ONE_ID` (`TABLE_ONE_ID`),
  CONSTRAINT `table_two_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`TABLE_ONE_ID`) REFERENCES `table_one` (`Id`)

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

Hello!

The problem described in this report is the same as issue
described in bug #25583288 "DO NOT USE HA_INNOBASE::GET_FOREIGN_KEY_CREATE_INFO() FOR SHOW CREATE TABLE FK".
The latter bug has been erroneously closed as fixed earlier,
but was re-opened today and updated accordingly.

Taking into account the above I am marking this bug as Duplicate
of bug #25583288 "DO NOT USE HA_INNOBASE::GET_FOREIGN_KEY_CREATE_INFO() FOR SHOW CREATE TABLE FK".
