Granted, this is rather exotic. Nevertheless, byte-compile-file could
fall back to a direct write-region without temporary file + rename, or
rename-file could fall back to copy + remove on EBUSY (like EXDEV).

Hm... the latter sounds like an easy fix, but aren't there more commond
cases where you get EBUSY where copy + remove would fail, too?

I've been experimenting with creating a sandbox for Emacs using
https://developers.google.com/sandboxed-api/. That works by (a)
installing a Linux kernel syscall filter to limit the allowed
syscalls, and (b) enabling user and mount namespaces. Using the mount
namespaces, the sandbox can be restricted exactly to the files that
Emacs needs to access. In the case of byte compilation, it needs to
write exactly one file, the byte-compiled output, so it's possible to
mount exactly that file. This bug makes this approach impossible.
(That's not a really onerous restriction; one can e.g. mount an empty
directory, and then have the output file written there. It would just
be nicer if it worked without such workarounds.)

Probably, but I guess the situation wouldn't become worse, as
presumably these cases already fail today.

No, I can't think of any cases where this would lead to a worse result
than the current situation, but it's somewhat scary making a low-level
general change like this in `rename-file' -- I have no idea whether
EBUSY is used for other oddball failure cases like this.
Making the change in byte-compile-file sounds safer, but would require
more work.

I guess it also depends on what the semantics are that
byte-compile-file guarantees. If it attempts to guarantee atomicity,
then only a intra-filesystem rename (or similar alternatives such as
O_TMPFILE + linkat) are acceptable, and technically, not even the
current fallback on EXDEV (which makes rename-file nonatomic) is OK.
If atomic writes are best-effort, then we could always fall back to
copy-file + delete-file on any file-error.

It's definitely best-effort, so altering byte-compile-file to try
copy-file + delete-file sounds like the best solution to me.

I've now pushed a slightly different fix to master (commit
