Thanks for your detailed report!

I could reproduce the problem. Yes, it is rename-file which ceases to
work. copy-file shows similar problems, when the source is a directory.

I didn't find a quick fix, but at least I have extended tramp-tests.el
already with respective tests :-)

Will work on this next days, for all involved backends, in order to have
it fixed for Emacs 26. I'm marking this bug as blocking bug#24655, the
Emacs 26.1 release bug.
