All-lowercase name fitting into 8.3 scheme, so the case info is stored in the NT case bits. IIRC, bit 4 was meant for the extension, not the name, so shouldn't this read 08h instead of 10h?

Yes, don't forget this is a very old binary, there were multiple bugs fixed after SDFiler was released. It's almost pointless to analyze this now.

Yes, trailing semicolons are treated as a system feature. The system will remove them and/or ignore them on comparisons, and add them as needed on creation.
The user can't create or see a file with a trailing ;
It is possible for the user to create with another OS 2 files with identical name except for a trailing semicolon. hpgcc/newRPL will open the first one that matches in the current directory, both will match in searches so you'll see both in the directory, but as identical files.
