Finder Updates with "Make UPPERCASE" and "Make lowercase" options.

Mac OS X uses some filesystems which are case-aware but not case-sensitive (e.g. the file names "HELLO" and "hello" are identical, but Mac OS X remembers whether it was uppercase or lowercase when it shows the files to you). This feature appears to confuse the new Finder which does not update its view, despite the fact that the file names have actually changed. Sooner or later the Finder does update its view, but it is not clear when this happens. You may be confused by this update problem into thinking that ABFR did not actually rename the files. It has, the Finder will notice it after a while..
