I'm not sure this is a bug per se. There is really nothing we can do about it in gvfs (we can't in general catch some other random app renaming the target).

However, it could possibly be done in nautilus if both the copy and the rename is done by nautilus. It would be rather complex and risk all sorts of race conditions though. Not sure if this is worth doing.
Comment 2 Roumano 2008-10-16 16:14:44 UTC
Yes, excuse me, it's maybe need to be done in nautilus not in gvfs.
If a remember correctly, this was working before implementation of gvfs in nautilus.

I cannot even rename the folder while still copying in 3.1.4. 
Seems like another bug.
Comment 4 António Fernandes 2013-04-22 14:57:41 UTC
I can reproduce on version 3.6

The file being copied at the time of destination renaming completes the copy successfully, but when trying to copy the next file in the batch, this dialog pops up:

>     .     
>    / \    Error while copying “foo”.
>   / ! \   
>  /_____\  There was an error copying the file into %DESTINATION_BEFORE_RENAME.
