But that's what we do with text conflicts if you postpone them. We
modify the working file (with conflict markers), and leave the
conflict in place. So why not do this in this case? The incoming
content is embedded in conflict markers.

Something like this:

moved-file.txt:
blah
<<<<<<< .mine
=======
incoming line 1
incoming line 2
>>>>>>> .r2
the end
