I think it is common problem for move operation - result is unexpected when folders intersect. Try to do the same using Windows Explorer - you'll get same buggy result.

From the other side, maybe some user expects THIS behaviour while moving?

TC 7.56 will be able to handle this specific situation. It's done by moving the folder with the same name as the parent LAST.
