I don't think it's identical to it.

Note that the issue with git-formatted diffs only occurs if the destination
file already existed *at the time you did a copy or rename over it*, not (to
the best of my knowledge), if a file has ever previously existed by that name.

If I understand the Teamware bug correctly, this would be similar, but in a far
more limited (and rare) situation, and also carry an easy workaround (remove
the file in the way of the destination, *then* rename/copy over it).

It also only applies in the case where you want an applicable diff -g from a
change where that was done in one changeset (either because it was one
changeset, or it was multiple and you recommitted), it doesn't appear to affect
any other command.
