I hit this one too, IIRC the way to fix it is to remove
rename certs from the database. I ended up just removing
all the rename certs with something (I think) like:

monotone db execute "delete from manifest_certs where name = 'rename'"

That'll lose rename history for affected files though :(
Also probably worth backing up the .db first...

I think the problem has been fixed in current (and probably
the most recent release of) Monotone, so it's only older
renames in the DB causing it. I'm sure someone who knows
more than me can comment.
