Renaming folders blows up the Keywords/Categories

Related to this and this.

1. have a folder named c:\Temp1
2. Assign some categories to some photos in it
3. Rename the folder to c:\Temp2 in the Folders Tree
4. Go to see the photos from c:\temp2 are 'unassigned'

Expected: The categories of the photos should go with the photos (be sure to NOT save the metadata in file/sidecars - for ex. use RAW files)

Actual: the photos from c:\temp2 are 'unassigned'

Notes: In Settings | Database there are two folders: c:\Temp1 and c:\Temp2 while it should be just one: c:\Temp2.
Since c:\Temp1 is successfully renamed to c:\Temp2, this means that c:\Temp1 doesn't exist anymore.

It seems that it is working ok from thumbs view. However is rather difficult to reproduce because it seems that it needs to have a folder which needs time to be scanned (many and/or big files?) and/or to be on a LAN(?).
