Steps to reproduce (borrowed from CONF-4940):

1. start with an existing page
2. bring up the page update screen
3. enter the name of the page in the page's parent page field
4. save ('update')
5. EXPECT: validation error indicating that a page cannot be its own parent
6. reenter the name of the page in the parent page field, but this time with a different case
7. EXPECT: validation error indicating that a page cannot be its own parent
