On my just installed Karmic, linux-firmware ships the firmware with all CAPS:

/lib/firmware# dpkg -S /lib/firmware/BCM2033-FW.BIN /lib/firmware/BCM2033-MD.BIN
linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/BCM2033-FW.BIN
linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/BCM2033-MD.BIN

the kernel requests the firmware with the extension in non caps:

[ 2034.337633] usb 5-2: firmware: requesting BCM2033-MD.hex
[ 2034.343046] usb 5-2: firmware: requesting BCM2033-FW.bin

So I guess this bug (or a reincarnation of it) is still present.

Then again, I can't get my Bluetooth dongle to work reliably anyway. But after renaming the files, at least the firmware loads.
