Bug with renaming directories on vfat in 2.1.86

Renaming a directory "hides" its contents:
the following takes place on a vfat filesystem (2.1.86):
:; cd /win95/Eigene\ Dateien/
:; mkdir foo
:; touch foo/1.txt foo/2.txt foo/3.txt
:; ls -l foo
total 0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rsch users 0 Feb 15 23:18 1.txt*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rsch users 0 Feb 15 23:18 2.txt*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rsch users 0 Feb 15 23:18 3.txt*
:; mv foo bar
:; ls -l bar
total 0
Where have the files gone? Unmounting and remounting shows that
they're still there, but nothing else seems to make the contents
of "bar" visible :(
Cheers, Roderich
