I think I see the problem!

Can you set spam-cache-lookups to nil?  That tries to use a cache so
BBDB lookups are not repeated unnecessarily.  The code that populates
the cache is:

            (setq bbdb-cache
                  ;; this is the expanded (bbdb-hashtable) macro
                  ;; without the debugging support
                  (with-current-buffer (bbdb-buffer)
                    (save-excursion
                      (save-window-excursion
                        (bbdb-records nil t)
                        bbdb-hashtable))))

This does not care for case sensitivity, though, hence your problem -
the cache is case-sensitive even though (bbdb-search-simple) is
case-insensitive.  Disable spam-cache-lookups for now, and when I get
responses to my question below we'll get it truly fixed.

Can any BBDB wizards tell me how I can populate the bbdb-cache obarray
with interned lowercased versions of every net address?  That would be
very helpful.  I am not sure using bbdb-hashtable is the right approach.

Thanks
Ted
