I've Debian unstable, Kernel 2.2.17

Uhm, no. $PWD only gets updated on cd, not on mv. Thus, the old value is OK!

This seems wrong. But I'd rather say this is a bug in your shell, not in the kernel!
/tmp> mkdir old /tmp> cd old /tmp/old> mv . ../new /tmp/old> mkdir fff /tmp/old> ls -al total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 jean-luc jean-luc 4096 Nov 9 16:46 . drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 4096 Nov 9 16:46 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 jean-luc jean-luc 4096 Nov 9 16:46 fff /tmp/old> cd ../new /tmp/new> ls -al total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 jean-luc jean-luc 4096 Nov 9 16:46 . drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 4096 Nov 9 16:46 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 jean-luc jean-luc 4096 Nov 9 16:46 fff
Works for both bash-2.04 and zsh-3.1.9-dev7 (as in Debian unstable).
