Auto Spell Check marks capitalization mistakes when type is set to ALL CAPS.
With auto spell check enabled, capitalization is still marked if the type is set to "ALL CAPS" in the the character panel's options. when using all caps, the capitalization of the underlying text should not matter, only what is displayed which is all-caps.

Or at least an option to disable capitalization all together and just check for spelling.

Actually, this is fair.
When we apply 'All Caps' option in the Character panel, we make them LOOK like caps, while in fact underneath they are written like you show this. It’s like using a text-specific Appearance, a trick, a glamour.
If you copy this text and paste elsewhere — it will we pasted as what it is underneath, not capitalized. So no wonder Spell Check here sees beyond the veil, and I’d expect it to.If you want to make actual capital glyphs out of these, you’d have to go to Type > Change Case and command 'UPPERCASE'. In this case Spell Check will find no problem.
However, this can make sense in some cases, but this should be a conscious choice, an option, disabled by default...
Jeremy, would you mind me turning this into a feature request instead of a bug report? -

Here's a clearer example of what's happening.
