Yes, "rebase -i" works somewhat differently than an ordinary rebase. It
uses a series of cherry-picks rather than "format-patch | am". And the
bug is, I think, in "git-am".

It probably would also have worked using "git rebase -m" which uses
merge strategies to rebase.

And yes, it is a bit crazy that there are so many ways to rebase. The
original, "format-patch | am" is faster than the other schemes, but
doesn't handle renames (as "rebase -m" does); nor is it flexible enough
to do what "rebase -i" does.
