I've analyzed the code in /libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php.
JFolder::create() examines, wether each entry of the open_basedir setting in php.ini is a part of the currently compared path. Because the compare is implemented case sensitive, even on Windows, it will fail when using a different letter capitalization in my open_basedir directive vs. the file system! Could you please check it?

I would say that it is the expected behaviour that if your server is set to use a folder called CAPITALS it will not work if the folder is called CaPitals
This is a php.ini setting and not a joomla setting
All Windows systems are case insensitive, so why I cannot use 'Inetpub' instead of 'inetpub' in php.ini? All work perfect except modules installation :(
Looks like it could easily be solved by using a case insensitive compare on Windows.

once again. the setting for openbasedir is in your server php.ini file
it is not in your joomla site - joomla just reads the value
So if you server is configured to look in one place but that place does not exist then joomla cannot find it
Another simple example:
<?php
--
print_r([
'd' => __DIR__,
'f' => __FILE__,
'obd'=> ini_get('open_basedir')
]);
web output:
Array
(
[d] => C:\inetpub\vhosts\q.w10-52-37-138.qa.plesk.ru\httpdocs
[f] => C:\inetpub\vhosts\q.w10-52-37-138.qa.plesk.ru\httpdocs\1.php
[obd] => C:/Inetpub/vhosts/q.w10-52-37-138.qa.plesk.ru\;C:\Windows\Temp\
)
That is a server php.ini setting and not a setting inside joomla
