Thanks, David! I appreciate your help.

patch level 4 of the June latex release has been sent to ctan so should appear there tomorrow and texlive/miktex mirrors in a few days.

We ended up with a slightly deeper fix than the version I posted to stackexchange, but the same basic issue.

I also added a convenience function \AddToNoCaseChangeList which you can use to make command arguments safe from case chaging so

\ifx\AddToNoCaseChangeList\@undefined
% old format, probably \RequirePackage[overload]{textcase}....
\else
% new format
  \AddToNoCaseChangeList{\eqref \footnote \somelocalcommand}
\fi

then

\MakeUppercase{ aaa \eqref{abc} \label{xyz}  bbb \somelocalcommand{www}}

should hopefully work, please open an issue in github if not.

Latex PL4 has resolved the problems with \eqref and \label. A new need to protect \footnote in section headings (which use the titlesec package) is discussed here, titlesec; asmeconf.sty will be patched shortly to work around that issue so that end-users won't need to fuss with it.
