[bug] coreutils 5.2.1 - incorrect behaviour for mv --reply=no |

When using the option --reply=no for mv, it still overwrites the file when it
is not supposed to.
Here is a quick demo:
address@hidden ~]# mkdir mvtest
address@hidden ~]# cd mvtest/
address@hidden mvtest]# mkdir moveto
address@hidden mvtest]# echo test > file.ext
address@hidden mvtest]# touch moveto/file.ext
address@hidden mvtest]# ls
file.ext moveto
address@hidden mvtest]# mv --reply=no -v file.ext moveto/
`file.ext' -> `moveto/file.ext'
address@hidden mvtest]# ls
moveto
address@hidden mvtest]#
This is wrong as the destination file should not be overwritten when using
--reply=no
Oher relevant information:
address@hidden ~]# mv --version
mv (coreutils) 5.2.1
