Grant privilege appears to lowercase table names

Granting a privilege to a user appears to lowercase the table instead of preserving the case, despite lower_case_table_names being set to 2. I was under the impression the case should be preserved? I've included a quick scenario below to demonstrate the issue.

**** example begins ****

mysql> show global variables like 'lower%';
+------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+------------------------+-------+
| lower_case_file_system | ON |
| lower_case_table_names | 2 |
+------------------------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> create database Frog;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> create table Frog.SkinDetails (coLour varchar(255));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> create user fred;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> grant insert on `Frog`.`SkinDetails` to fred;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> show grants for fred;
+----------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for fred@% |
+----------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'fred'@'%' |
| GRANT INSERT ON `frog`.`skindetails` TO 'fred'@'%' |
+----------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from mysql.tables_priv where User = 'fred';
+------+------+------+-------------+-----------------------+---------------------+------------+-------------+
| Host | Db | User | Table_name | Grantor | Timestamp | Table_priv | Column_priv |
+------+------+------+-------------+-----------------------+---------------------+------------+-------------+
| % | frog | fred | skindetails | development@localhost | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | Insert | |
+------+------+------+-------------+-----------------------+---------------------+------------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> show databases;
+---------------------------------+
| Database |
+---------------------------------+
| Frog |
+---------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

**** example ends ****

I'm running mysql "Server version: 5.6.39 Homebrew" on MacOS 10.13.4.

Anyone know if there's a way to force case preservation when granting privileges?

Thanks in advance.
David
