On such an old bug with modern workarouds I think it's worth talking about.

Using a COW FS would require you you use said FS (not NTFS ... you can put
files systems inside each other with losetup but it's not ideal) If you really
don't want to use another filesystem then the options are git or git-annex or
that wrapper script I cooked up, or there is likely some backup software with
the functionality baked in.

you can with a COW FS like this (R for renamed); 

# zfs diff pool/volume at snap1 pool/volume at snap2
M       /pool/volume/
R       /pool/volume/fileB -> /pool/volume/fileC
