I was able to find an ia64 machine running an old 2.4.19 kernel. Not
quite the same but I was able to reproduce the problem there.

rename("b/t", "a/t") = -1 ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty)

Strace on linux-2.4.19 on an ext3 filesystem shows this:
rename("d", "empty") = -1 ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty)
While on linux-2.6.12:
rename("d", "empty") = 0
