I think that mv -i warns only when it would overwrite a file. Your test renamed a file but did not overwrite an existing file.

Greetings !
My name is Serg Kolo, I am an Ubuntu 15.04 user. While renaming some files, I've discovered that my mv binary does not respond in any way to -i or --interactive option.
In the screenshot bellow you can see me use mv -i or mv --interactive which still acts as regular mv, in two different shells, first mksh, then bash.
I found this email on the coreutils webpage, and hope I am not causing any inconvenience by sending a message here; I don't have experience with reporting bugs, but I though this would be worth mentioning and may be useful to some
Respectfully,
Serg
