I've tried to reproduce your scenario, in all my test cases Tramp
applies "mv -f ..." on the remote host. From your debug buffer, it is
not understandable why it calls "scp -p ..." twice.

So I need more information. Could you pls start Emacs like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -Q -l tramp -l tramp-sh
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then apply the following in the *scratch*  buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(progn
  (require 'trace)
  (dolist (elt (all-completions "tramp-" obarray 'functionp))
    (trace-function-background (intern elt)))
  (untrace-function 'tramp-read-passwd))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Rerun your test scenario. You can stop traces then with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
M-x untrace-all
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Send the resulting *trace-output* buffer. It shouldn't contain passwords
in clear text, but better cross-check.

Best regards, Michael.
