AirPort Express shows lowercase in AirPort Utility

I use an AirPort Express 802.11n (v7.5.2) to extend my wireless network with a Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd Generation / v7.5.2) as a base router. When I enter the 'Logging & Statistics' of my Time Capsule via the AirPort Utility (via: Manual Setup > Advanced > Logs and Statistics > DHCP clients), I found out that only the name (Client ID) of my AirPort Express is changed in only lowercase characters (from Luna into luna), while all the other devices (like my iPad, iPhones, iPods, printers, Apple-TV, etc.) contain their original set of upper- and lowercase characters.

Can someone please explain to me why only the name (Client ID) of the AirPort Express is changed into lowercase?

Or can someone please check if the name (Client ID) of only the AirPort Express is also changed into lowercase is his or her configuration? Thanks!

My airport express is also changed to all lowercase in the DHCP clients list. ONLY the airport express has this change. Also for some reason my Airport Express will not use the IP reservation based off of the DHCP client ID. No idea why this is happening.

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly one of the issues I have with the Airport Express. I hope that Apple picks it up in one of the next firmware updates...
