What you get when you move something is redirect page that translates the
old name into the new one. But if you were already targeting that page
with a redirect, it would take a double redirect to find the new location,
and that doesn't work. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Double_redirects for more details.
