Yup thanks, ncrename.c is a good demo with in_grp.nc, and I've verified
nc_redef and nc_enddef aren't called.  I've simplified in_grp.nc somewhat
and the bug disappears, so I'm trying to find something simpler between
those two cases so I can see what's really required for the bug.  For
example, groups have nothing to do with it, the bug's still there when all
groups are removed.
