What standard exactly is being violated here?

Some of your assumptions are wrong. When apache sees "get /foo" it treats it
exactly like "BAR /foo". In other words, it treats it as an unknown method
acting on an improperly-canonicalized directory. It is not doing a
case-insensitive match on GET.

So what is happening is that apache ignores the method entirely when it receives
a request for an improperly-canonicalized directory and simply sends the
redirect. In the case of "BAR /foo", apache doesn't even try to determine
whether the resource /foo will actually deal with the method BAR. Trying to
check this would add considerable complexity for very little gain.

And by the way, "get /foo" and even "GET /foo/" are not correct requests in any
recent version of http. If you are testing protocol compliance, you should start
with a reasonable request.
