And yes, this is a really unwanted behavior and it was a short-sighted decision to make it behave so.

QFile::rename should rename always or fail! It should never do completely different operation - copy!

QFile/QDir is pretty much at the mercy of the OS, i.e. if the OS refuses the renaming (for example on NTFS when you try to rename across volumes) then QFile dutifully copies the file instead.

So I think this is not a Qt question

Definitely it's a Qt question. Qt could provide some flag to avoid this unwanted behavior.
