How did you try to rename it? What exact commands did you input?

In Dired i would do this operation using `R' or `wdired' as follows:
I)
emacs -Q -r
M-: (dired temporary-file-directory) RET
+ a RET
R A RET

II)
emacs -Q -r
M-: (dired temporary-file-directory) RET
+ b RET
C-x C-q M-u C-c C-c

I have tried both in emacs-24.5.1 and they works as expected.
Could you check if I), II) work for you?

Tino
