I'm sorry, the generation number is not changed in your scenario. Thus,
I believe if the sequence of actions on the server is 

mv file1 tmpfile
mv file2 file1
mv tmpfile file1

like you described, it's safe to continue to use a cached file handle
for file1 on the server since it still references the original file.
And file2 just disappears from the server.
