I am puzzled. Looking at wt-status.c "renamed: A -> B" will be shown only when A and B are similar enough *and* there is no A remaining in the final result, and in such a case, "modified: A" should not be shown. Because git does not care how you created B (IOW, it does not matter if B was typed from scratch with copying and pasting, or created by copying and editing), the "renamed: A -> B" entry itself is not surprising nor look like a bug at all, but its presense at the same time as "modified: A" does feel very fishy.
