Well, you asked me to try it on / but / is an ext4 FS, not a CIFS FS
on my system. Should I try it also on a directory inside the CIFS mount?

It does remove the diagnostic as intended:
Preparations:
$ mkdir dir3 dir4
$ echo foo > dir3/file3
$ echo foo > dir4/file4
With coreutils-9.4:
$ mv dir3 /media/nas/bruno/
/gnu-inst-coreutils/9.4/bin/mv: failed to preserve ownership for
'/media/nas/bruno/dir3': Permission denied
With coreutils from git now:
$ src/mv dir4 /media/nas/bruno/
I had worries regarding losing diagnostics that would be worth seeing.
But in fact, coreutils-9.4 did not actually produce such a diagnostic.
So, there is no regression for this case.
Preparations:
$ mkdir dir1 dir2
$ echo foo > dir1/file1
$ echo foo > dir2/file2
$ chmod a+rwx dir1 dir2
$ sudo chown root:root dir1 dir2
With coreutils-9.4:
$ mv dir1 /media/nas/bruno/dir1
With coreutils from git now:
$ src/mv dir2 /media/nas/bruno/dir2
