Well, that seems pretty reasonable behavior to me and the CF5 behavior 
sounds like a bug.

I searched the known issues, the documentation updates, the 
documentation additions and the migration guides and found no mention 
of a change in the behavior of cffile/cfdirectory action="rename".

So I looked at the docs for CFMX. There is no mention of the behavior 
when the directory attribute (or source) and newdirectory (destination) 
are the same. The way it is worded sort of assumes that the 
newdirectory (destination) is different than the directory (source) but 
it doesn't explicitly mention that case.

So I looked at the docs for CF5 and they are worded pretty much 
identically.

So... I don't know.

I'll ask the product team folks...
