merge --reintegrate after a mv in the branch (SVN 1.5.0 / Windows)

Hello,

I would like to test what is still a known limitation : merge tracking
& renaming ... and try to understand what is the best way to handle
this.

For my test, I'm doing this :
(SVN 1.5.0 / on windows with both cmd line & tortoisesvn)

In a trunk wc, add a simple file (file.txt)
Branch the trunk to branches/refactor
In a "refactor" branch wc, rename file.txt to fileRenamed.txt
Back to the trunk wc, I'm trying to "reintegrate" my branch ...

And svn is answering this :
"svn: Cannot reintegrate from
'svn://localhost/reintegrate/branches/refactor' yet:
Some revisions have been merged under it that have not been merged
into the reintegration target; merge them first, then retry."

While reading svn book, Chap.4 Advanced Merging, Merge & Moves
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.advanced.html#svn.branchmerge.advanced.moves)
I was expecting the branch to be reintegrated smoothly (while being
aware of the potential "data loss" if file.txt was updated in the
trunk) ...

Can somebody explain me how to "force" the branch reintegration ?
Am I missing something ?

After googling, I didn't find a lot of help on how to handle such a
case or any "howto" on this particular topic....
Is this use case force to abandon "merge tracking" ?

Thanks in advance
