That's the behavior I've gotten for as long as I can remember, which
prompted me to write this useful script:
------------------- BEGIN /usr/local/bin/mvv -------------------
#!/bin/sh
/bin/mv "${1%%/}" "${1%%/}-$$" && mv "${1%%/}-$$" "${2%%/}"
-------------------- END /usr/local/bin/mvv --------------------

Very strange. What version was the 'prev' version?
