They don't check for file names, they check for the CRC codes, which can be read instantly from ZIP files. Whenever the files are in the correct ZIP, and they have the correct CRCs, names inside the ZIP don't matter. For unzipped files, filename does matter, and I guess that MAME reads them to calculate the CRC.
Maybe what EmuLoader is showing is "what the name should be" vs. "what the name is" and that's why you see two filenames. Have you tried to rename the valid file with the wrong filename to something totally different to see how EmuLoader behaves?
If you're not making a ROM management tool, then you should focus on detect the files in the same way MAME does, and that means looking into the MAME source to see, for example, in which order does MAME look for zipped/unzipped files.
