The fast rename patch doesn't handle split-meta at all by my reading, which is a reason it can't work as-is in our configuration.
Here's an updated version which does split-meta (including renames to and from partitions which have split-meta). Also handles multiple quota roots correctly, which I had made a complete hash of first time around:

Much better is if it's logged somewhere that the system reads on startup and finishes the action - that's heaps more robust. Harder to write initially, but a whole lot better for safety.
I'm going to leave this part as an exercise for the reader as it has never been an issue on our systems. I understand that someone with an order or two of magnitude more users might have a different view of the situation.
cyr_dbtool (in 2.3.8) can do it:
