Its possible to rename two chains to the same name in one transaction: nft add chain t c1 nft add chain t c2 nft 'rename chain t c1 c3;rename chain t c2 c3' This creates two chains named 'c3'. Appears to be harmless, both chains can still be deleted both by name or handle, but, nevertheless, its a bug. Walk transaction log and also compare vs. the pending renames. Both chains can still be deleted, but nevertheless it is a bug as we don't allow to create chains with identical names, so we should prevent this from happening-by-rename too.
