--- Comment #2 from Reuben Green <reubengreen73 at gmail.com> ---
The g_file_move documentation says that "If native move operations are
supported then this is used, otherwise a copy + delete fallback is used". So it
seems that in this case, the fallback is being used rather than a "native move
operation". Thus this behaviour comes from g_file_move itself, perhaps (?)
triggered by the size of the file.

I think that the G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE flag just tells g_file_move to perform
the move even if the destination file already exists, rather than telling
g_file_move *how* to perform the operation (i.e. native move vs fallback).
