I played with this some more this morning, this time on Emacs 29.  It
looks like rename-file should have called copy-directory as

copy-directory("/tmp/emacs-git"
  "/home/kupfer/.local/share/Trash/files/emacs-gitH0lx1e/" t nil t)

That is, 2 changes from current behavior are needed: append a "/" to the
target name, and specify copy-contents as t.

The test case that I used to emulate the current behavior is

1. mkdir a; touch a/b

2. mkdir /tmp/newa
(This assumes that /tmp is a different filesystem than the filesystem
where "a" was created.)

3. M-: (copy-directory "a" "/tmp/newa" t nil) RET

That gives the already-exists error.

With (copy-directory "a" "/tmp/newa/" t nil), I get /tmp/newa/a/b, which
isn't what's wanted for the Trash directory.

With (copy-directory "a" "/tmp/newa/" t nil t), I get /tmp/newa/b, which
is what's desired.
