But the bzr diff command attempts to mimic the diff command in almost
every other respect (e.g. useless tabs in the file labels, add/delete
represented as diffs against /dev/null).  So representing renames as
create/delete pairs would be more self-consistent than what you're
suggesting.

In terms of UI, there's a big difference.

Okay.  I'm +0 on this, personally.
