If we do this, you'd probably want to use:

mkdir -- './mv-test'

at least when the destination directory being moved into starts with -
rather than './'.  You also have to be sure that the quoting style is
shell-appropriate (is that always the case currently, or can environment
preferences for quoting cause something that is not shell-valid?).
