And the directory by that name really already exists under Trash?
That would mean something is wrong with make-temp-file on your system,
because it's supposed to return a different file name.  You will see
that move-file-to-trash calls make-temp-file near its end.

(I cannot myself try reproducing this because I don't have access to a
system with freedesktop.org-style Trash.)

Thanks.
