Unfortunately bzr is broken in this respect:
if you have FTP server on top of Windows filesystem, it's unable to rename file
if there is already exists file with the same name. It's purely limitation
of underlying windows filesystem, not bzr itself.

This bug also reproduced by selftest running on Windows.

Unfortunately all core developers working on Linux, and assume that FTP servers
always running on Linux machines too, where this problem simply does not
exists.

Please, file the bug report about this problem.
