Do you have the use-url option set?  If this is set to false then the
purging is only performed based on the hostname and not on each URL
individually.  This means that the del-dontcache check is not
performed.

If you do have this option enabled then I suggest that you change the
DontCache rule from '~*://*/*.ps' to '*://*/*.ps' and purge the cache
again to see if that fixes it.  This will answer the question about
the case-insensitive option working or not (your understanding of the
option is correct).
