I would guess that's so if you move stuff around in the *Backup* tree.

But if you move files in the backed up directory around, I don't think that rsync goes and checks whether this new name has the same inode as a file currently in backup had when it was on the original FS (where should it get that data in the first place?).

Given that inodes may get reused, that would do more harm than good in any case.
