Yes this is a well known limitation in Subversion itself. Well
technically the Subversion limitation is that the second move will
throw an error. We have a workaround in place where we detect this
and just add the new file. It is not so much to deal with this
specific use case but more common ones like renaming a folder and then
a file in the folder.

Subversion 1.5 addresses this issue and Subclipse has been updated
accordingly. Hopefully should be out sometime in Q1.
