Not really "intended", but logical due to the large overhaul done in GDAL 2.5 
for SRS support (https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc73_proj6_wkt2_srsbarn). 
In previous GDAL version, PROJ string parsing was done by GDAL with likely not 
really intended case-insensitive string comparison. Now this is done by PROJ 
itself, and PROJ has always been case sensitive (you can try "proj +proj=merc 
+datum=wgs84" with older PROJ versions and it will emit that error too)
