| Is there any way to patch up the git history for cases like this (absolutely not a git expert)? I know that we don’t want to edit history in general, but if there are a set of specific issues liek this, it might be worth a batch change.

No, that's exactly the same operation. The problem is that commit
b8d4c8d0e9 didn't rename anything.
Yep. This commit only adds that file, and doesn't remove the existing
file
The file was removed in the previous commit.2007? Was that still CVS? Or was that during bazaar?
It was Bazaar.How did bazaar track renames?
Bazaar did track renames, but that commit didn't use "bzr mv".How was bazaar renames handled during the conversion to git?
I have no idea, but you see the results in the Git repository.
