Wow - that sucks in so many ways. And I thought it would just be a  
case of going into MAMPs Apache Config... poo.

I did find mod_checkspeling - http://tinyurl.com/34zblz - which could  
save a lot of headaches if it was activated/installed on our servers.  
mod_checkspelling Summary:

"Requests to documents sometimes cannot be served by the core apache  
server because the request was misspelled or miscapitalized. This  
module addresses this problem by trying to find a matching document,  
even after all other modules gave up. It does its work by comparing  
each document name in the requested directory against the requested  
document name without regard to case, and allowing up to one  
misspelling (character insertion / omission / transposition or wrong  
character). A list is built with all document names which were matched  
using this strategy."
