My preference is a non-zero exit status when mv does not move/rename the file.

Hmm, this might be doable. POSIX says that the mv exit status is 0 if "All input files were moved successfully" and is >0 if "An error occurred". With mv -i, if the user declines a move and there is other file then neither case applies, so mv can yield either 0 or nonzero as an exit status. Of course someone would have to write the code and (more importantly) the documentation to do it that way, but I think your request is a reasonable one.
