You could always, physically copy the file to the new location. Giving you all the history in the new location and run CVS delete on the only location. I can't see how this is too different from the cvs remove/cvs add. However you get to keep the history as well as keeping the old version.
The second problem still exists where it's in 2 locations in previous releases. unless you cvs remove the new copy from those branches as well. As always CVS is a bit messy with these things, but just throwing ideas on the pile that might work.
