Comment(by beaulebens):

 Gravatar email addresses *are* case sensitive, and always have been. If
 you md5 a string with differing cases, it will create a different hash and
 therefore not resolve properly on Gravatar.

 Emails *must* be lowercased before hashing them to request a Gravatar.

 {{{
 $hash = md5( strtolower( $email ) );
 }}}
