There is a bug with dentries and renaming symlinked files (2.1.45):
koerting:~/tmp $ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 gerhard users 0 Jul 18 23:38 x lrwxrwxrwx 1 gerhard users 1 Jul 18 23:38 y -> x koerting:~/tmp $ mv y z koerting:~/tmp $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 gerhard users 1 Jul 18 23:38 y -> x -rw-r--r-- 1 gerhard users 0 Jul 18 23:38 z
The mv hasn't renamed the symlink but the file pointed to by the link.
