This is a feature, albeit an extremely old one.  If you log in with an
all-caps login name, the login program concludes that you must be using an
uppercase-only keyboard/terminal/whatever, and adjusts system settings
accordingly. 

Try the command "stty -lcase", after logging in.  I don't recall any
automatic way to turn this behavior off.
