Yes. The description you quoted includes "will not overwrite local files"; even without --rename, the default is to create $pkg_ver.orig.tar.gz as a symlink to the downloaded tarball, which would then try to overwrite your existing file of that file. There is, however, a potential bug here as even with --no-symlink we still abort due to the presence of the .orig; we should probably skip that check in that case.
