svnmerge is written in Python, so wouldn't it be possible to add support for maintaining such renaming to that tool ?
svnmerge.py is mostly a wrapper over svn merge, and svn merge can't handle it, so I don't think is easily possible.
I don't think that an administrative problem such as forward- porting patches to 3.x warrants breakage in the 2.x branch.
I am a bit worried for the sanity of the Merger, though. Merges into non-existent files are skipped automatically, so it doesn't make life any easier.

So can dozens of other VCSs. Just to keep perspective. Georg
