    The reason is that it's actually using the Expression parser from
    Cayenne and not the EOQualifier parser from WO. This is actually a
    bug that it's using likeIgnoreCase, though (and I didn't realize
    that). Entity Modeler has its own totally separate implementation of
    the EOModel stack classes. I actually have a replacement qualifier
    parser implementation that matches WO, but I've been hesitant to
    commit it for fear of breaking people that are working. It is
    supposed to match WO, though.
