Ok, found the issue: when reached through a firmlink, the ext2fs port is
actually using a shadow root (because firmlink reparents the port to its
parent). When checking out for "mv in itself", dir-renamed goes up to
the shadow root instead of the root, and gets dazed about it. Since we
early prevent renaming between different shadow roots, the fix is simply
about comparing against the shadow root, not only the actual root.
