You're using the "~*" operator here and that means "case insensitive
match", see http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location

Note that you're using "==" here in Lua which is exact string comparison :)

Which version of ngx_lua are you using? Please show me your "nginx -V"
output? And which OS are you using? I've tested your example with
ngx_lua git master HEAD on Slackware Linux x86_64 and do not have any
issues :)

Also, enabling --with-debug in your nginx build and show me the
relevant sections of your error.log on the debug error log level will
be helpful too :)
