Whether it should or not is open to debate, but it does not.  If you
manually move one CVS controlled directory into another CVS directory,
CVS will not recurse into the subdirectory when operating in the parent
directory because it recorded all the known subdirectories of the parent
in the Entries file and doesn't go looking for new ones that appeared by
magic when it wasn't looking.
