Aaron Swan added the comment:

Although using the mv command *does* remove the src file on red hat linux, I 
can accept that the POSIX requirement that the source *must* be removed might 
not apply if source is the same as the destination file.

It would be nice if the behavior was consistent, but I think the POSIX 
requirements are somewhat up for interpretation in this case.

The documentation should probably be updated at the least.
