The webrev shows the file as being moved outside the control of

webrev, apologies if you already did this.)
For webrev then I think it depends on whether the changes have been
committed or not. If you do a hg mv and then webrev -N before
committing then it will show as a move. If you commit and then
generate the webrev then it looks like a delete + new file. Maybe
there is an opportunity for someone to see if webrev can be made a bit
smarter.
Aha, that's the reason. I know it "usually" work but not always, but I
have not seen the pattern. (I usually create pre-checkin webrevs.)
