Basic symbol completion is case sensitive: MAKE-INSTAN won't complete. (Given that CL symbol names are upper cased, this is broken as well as annoying).
Compound completion can handle MAKE-INSTAN but not Make-instan.

The point of the simple completion algorithm is that is simple and not to guess whatever case folding you might have wanted. It assumes and encourages consistent use of lower case.

Well, writing source code in upper case is out of fashion since a century or so. I don't consider this a bug.

If the input contains both upper and lower case chars then compound completion assumes that you want exact matches without case folding.
