Yes, that is pretty easy to see as you first used pold/pnew and then 
src/dst.

I minimally fixed up your patch (it now uses strbuf), and added a 
test-case.

This test-case is actually crucial: it shows that your patch is not 
enough: the culprit is this code in builtin-mv.c:167--168:

                else if (lstat(dst, &st) == 0) {
                        bad = "destination exists";

Ciao,
Dscho
