I will close this as wontfix. Copy-pasting explanation from bugzilla bellow:

Hi,

I looked into this and I see this as NOTABUG. The reason is that we do not control the format of netgroup name in the getnetgr response packet. The packet only contains netgroup triples. The name of netgroup printed on the screen is always in the same case as the name entered by user when invoking getent.

So there is not much we can do about this, preserve and false will always behave the same with netgroups.
