Comment:

 Upper case tags haven't been in use for 6-7 years I think. They are also
 invalid with most current doctypes and the visual editor would always
 convert them to lower case.

 In that terms adding support to wpautop() for upper case tags would only
 introduce unneeded overhead. It seems the best solution for this is to
 replace all upper case tags while importing or directly in the database
 after importing. That would make your content futureproof too.

 Did you use one of the build-in importers? If this is a common problem we
 need to fix the importer or perhaps can make a small plugin to do that
 automatically after import.
