$ mkdir /tmp/a /tmp/b
$ emacs -Q /tmp/a
Put the cursor on the "." line, and hit R and try and move it to /tmp/b .
Overwrite ‘/tmp/b’? [Type yn!q or C-h] y

Yes, on /tmp we can move /tmp/a to /tmp/b (creating /tmp/a/b/) easily.
But still, the above problem should be detected earlier, before the
question is shown to the user.
emacs-version "27.1"

I can't reproduce this in Emacs 29, so I guess it's been fixed since
then.
However, hitting `g' in the directory after the operation gives me an
error about default-directory no longer existing (which is correct), but
this should be handled better.
This is a duplicate of bug#30578, though, so I'm merging these bugs.

I've now made it refuse to rename . and .. -- doing so is just too
confusing even if it worked.
