Oh, yes.  Had misread the debug output, sorry.  OK, in this case it's 
easy to cause this error.  We can check before renaming whether the 
rename will succeed - but failing this is probably no better than 
failing the rename itself.  Probably the best strategy is a slightly 
more informative message suggesting a possible cause?
