This is now fixed in the latest dev version.  The original file will be
left intact if the rename from the --temp-dir fails, and a copy of the
successful transfer will be left in the --partial-dir if that option was
specified (and the rename/copy to the partial dir succeeds).

The latest "nightly" tar file has this fix.
