I don't have strong opinion about the issue because I don't
use the trash either.

    Fix race with rename-file etc. with dir NEWNAME
    
    This changes the behavior of rename-file etc. slightly.
    The old behavior mostly disagreed with the documentation, and had
    a race condition bug that could allow attackers to modify victims'
    write-protected directories (Bug#27986).
