I have another question:

Do you remember what this comment from file-notify-callback is talking
about ?

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
((memq action '(moved rename))
 ;; The kqueue rename event does not return file1 in
 ;; case a file monitor is established.
 (if (setq file1 (file-notify--event-file1-name event))
     'renamed 'deleted))
#+END_SRC

And file-notify--event-file1-name basically returns nil, if the file1
argument of event is not a string.  But this seems to contradict the
comment, which states that file1 *is* nil, implying that the stored
filename should be used, or not ?
