I think we may be able to resolve the problem by using tree-conflicts.
Consider A moved-to B and an update to A/f that cannot be applied to
B/f. We can apply the update to the base node of A/f but we cannot
apply it to the moved node B/f for some reason (B/f is deleted or
replaced say). This will generate a tree-conflict. After the update we
have a move that is "broken" because the source has been updated and the
destination has not but it is still marked as a move, plus we have a
tree-conlfict. The process of resolving the tree-conflict will either
convert the move into delete+copy, or involve getting the tree into a
state such that the move can be followed.
