Yes, that can confuse people. A possible misunderstanding is that move information shown at the client-side will be used in the repository as-is. Which isn't the case. In the WC the move is relative to the BASE tree. But the server needs to concern itself with the question "did a move occur within the revision range -rN:M?", which is true if the revision in which the move was committed is in the range N:M. So once the move has been committed the BASE tree of the working copy becomes irrelevant.
