Some comments from a Subversion developer.
Hopefully this information will help you guys.

This really is the behaviour of 'svn move' as implemented.
We know this sucks in many situations.

The 1.6 release will feature 'tree-conflict detection', a feature which
is supposed to address this and a whole class of similar problems.
I'm not really sure what you do during a 'rebase' and what the cws tool is,
so it might be that the issues we are trying to fix with this feature are
orthogonal to your problem. But I hope that's not the case.

Some background reading:

Slides for a talk I did with a fellow svn developer at Subconf:

Slides for a talk at Subconf held by a corporate Subversion user with extreme
branching and merging requirements, about their (temporary) workaround for
problems with svn move:

Unfortunately, we're currently lacking decent documentation for tree
conflicts. Much information is scattered on the mailing list and in our
issue tracker. The svnbook will eventually be updated, I'm working on this.

These two posts may give you a good idea about what this feature does:

If you really want to dig deep, here is the mother issue in our issue tracker:

Most importantly, if you can, *please* *please* *please* try your problematic
merge cases with current Subversion trunk, and report to us on our
development mailing list (see http://subversion.tigris.org/mailing-lists.html)
whether you like what you see or not. (It's all client-side, not need to
upgrade the server.) That would help us an awful lot. Thanks!
