--- Comment #4 from Wim Lewis <***@omnigroup.com> ---
This bug/behavior seems to still exist in 2.4.12, even with various settings of
MultiviewsMatch.

For example, in a directory in which thing2.txt.en exists, and with
mod_negotiation and mod_mime applied:

dav:/> cat thing2.txt.en
Displaying `/thing2.txt.en':
The contents of a thing. Random number: 917
dav:/> cat thing2.txt
Displaying `/thing2.txt':
Failed: 404 Not Found
dav:/> cat thing2
Displaying `/thing2':
Failed: 404 Not Found
dav:/> mv thing2.txt.en thing2
Moving `/thing2.txt.en' to `/thing2': failed:
404 Not Found
dav:/> mv thing2.txt.en thing2.txt
Moving `/thing2.txt.en' to `/thing2.txt': failed:
404 Not Found

But, with MultiViews disabled:

dav:/> mv thing2.txt.en thing2.txt
Moving `/thing2.txt.en' to `/thing2.txt': succeeded.
dav:/> mv thing2.txt thing2
Moving `/thing2.txt' to `/thing2': succeeded.

Please help us to refine our list of open and current defects; this is a mass
update of old and inactive Bugzilla reports which reflect user error, already
resolved defects, and still-existing defects in httpd.

As repeatedly announced, the Apache HTTP Server Project has discontinued all
development and patch review of the 2.2.x series of releases. The final release
2.2.34 was published in July 2017, and no further evaluation of bug reports or
security risks will be considered or published for 2.2.x releases. All reports
older than 2.4.x have been updated to status RESOLVED/LATER; no further action
is expected unless the report still applies to a current version of httpd.

If your report represented a question or confusion about how to use an httpd
feature, an unexpected server behavior, problems building or installing httpd,
or working with an external component (a third party module, browser etc.) we
ask you to start by bringing your question to the User Support and Discussion
mailing list, see [https://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users] for details.
Include a link to this Bugzilla report for completeness with your question.

If your report was clearly a defect in httpd or a feature request, we ask that
you retest using a modern httpd release (2.4.33 or later) released in the past
year. If it can be reproduced, please reopen this bug and change the Version
field above to the httpd version you have reconfirmed with.

Your help in identifying defects or enhancements still applicable to the
current httpd server software release is greatly appreciated.

Re-opening + update version.
Comment 4 states that it can be reproduced in 2.4.12.
