Hm, strange, the file you sent looks OK and opens OK and
 I can open the GUIs, although of course I don't have the actual
 soundfonts referenced by the fluidsynths.

In the file, all of the names and cases match up properly - the midi section, 
 the SynthI section, and as you say (I forgot) the routing section.
I'm not seeing any mismatches, either with the lower-case 
 fluidsynth-(1- 4) or with the last FluidSynth-5.

With the project open in MusE I can see the routing is intact
 and the midi tracks refer to their respective fluidsynth tracks.

Can you point out, besides GUIs not opening, what else might be wrong
 with this file?

Maybe send another example - maybe sent the wrong one?
The file you sent can't be very old, it has the newer midi routing which 
 was added a few years ago. 

If there's a bug, whatever it is, I'll do my best to fix it so you can work.
I just need to see that there is in fact a bug...

Hopefully just a case-insensitive compare somewhere.

I'll keep looking in case I missed something in your file...

Thanks.
Tim.
