Dired 7.6 bug: efs-dired on VAX/VMS : renaming of FOO;48 to FOO;46 -- FAILS

I do 'R 1' on a VAX/VMS file called

	wpsumm.dat;48
and want to rename it to
	wpsumm.dat;46

As the subject says; it fails quite unnicely:
 -- the move is done, but I get a bad beep and
error message and the dired display is NOT updated.

If you need, I can produce a backtrace with the 
NON-bytecompiled version.....
