I can get into this situation by either: (version 1.5.8)

   1. start to edit (plain text) a new, empty page, but then cancel my
      attempt.
   2. delete an existing page

In both cases a page directory still exists for that page, which 
prevents a rename attempt.

My "moinmoin way" to get around this is to create/revert the "empty" 
page, and then rename _that_ page first, then do the original rename.
