There were a large number of merge-recursive corner cases fixed,
especially around renames, in the 1.7.3, 1.7.4, and 1.7.7 versions of
git. I do not recall specially a bug that matches your description, but
I would not be surprised at all if was already fixed by existing
changes.

Can you try to reproduce with a more recent version of git (preferably
the current "master" branch)?
